Bhagavad Gita Verses to Resonate in Uttarakhand’s Government Schools

Dehradun  (PB) : Verses from the Bhagavad Gita will now resonate in the morning prayer assemblies of Uttarakhand’s government schools. In a significant move aimed at connecting education with India’s traditional knowledge systems and cultural values, the state government has introduced this initiative. Education Minister Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat stated that the inclusion of Gita verses in morning prayers has already begun across schools in the state. The government is making continuous efforts to familiarize nearly four million students across Uttarakhand with Indian culture, spiritual values, and the lives of India’s great personalities. Dr. Rawat emphasized that the aim is not only to make Uttarakhand’s children proficient in science and technology but also to help them understand and connect with their roots. He highlighted that the wisdom of the Gita transcends religion, encompassing life values and self-realization. This initiative, he added, is a strong step towards shaping the future.
