Madhya Pradesh education minister Vijay Shah has directed all private schools in Satna to ensure that students answer their roll call in the classroom with "Jai Hind" instead of "Yes, Sir/Madam" from October 1.

Shah told ANI that the order was 바카라œjust a suggestion바카라 for now. 바카라œWe hope they will adhere to it since it relates to patriotism.바카라

바카라œI will take permission from the chief minister, if the experiment turns successful, we would like to implement it in the entire state,바카라 Shah told the news agency.  

Madhya Pradesh Youth Congress president Kunal Chaudhary told that instead of concentrating on what students should wear and chant, the government should improve the condition of schools and education system.

바카라œWe don바카라™t have any problem with chanting Jai Hind but school education department바카라™s main job is to provide quality education for better future of students and they have failed in their task,바카라 said Chaudhary.

Shah바카라™s statement comes amid allegations that the  BJP-ruled state governments are trying to impose "forced patriotism" on school children.

Last week, Shah announced that life and teachings of BJP ideologue Pandit would be taught to students to motivate them to do better in life. The minister바카라™s diktat covers both government and private schools. New books on Upadhaya will be introduced in the syllabus for different classes.

In March,  the minister advised to hoist the compulsorily at government schools. Subsquently, the education department issued fresh orders directing all schools, including CBSE affiliated schools, to hoist tricolour on their buildings daily.

On August 10, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had passed a notice to make singing Vande Matram compulsory in all schools it runs.

On July 25, the Madras High Court had ruled that  must be played in all schools, colleges and universities in Tamil Nadu at least once a week, preferably on Mondays or Fridays.

According to the 2014 Annual Status of Education Report (Aser), learning levels in rural MP are among India바카라™s worst. Only 34% of all children surveyed in Class 5 in rural MP could read a Class 2 level text, the second lowest across all states바카라“only behind Assam.

According to a study by the Child Rights and You (CRY), 94% schools in the state have 바카라œsignificant infrastructural gaps바카라 in compliance of the Right to Education Act, 2009, even six years after the act was implemented, reported HT.
