Raipur (Chattisgarh) [India], September 5 : Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has taken three major decisions in the interest of students on the occasion of Teachers' Day.
Every school in the state will now dedicate one day a week to teaching Chhattisgarhi and other local dialects. Teaching material is also being prepared to implement this decision. In Bastar and Surguja, text material is being prepared in local dialects, and the remaining material is being compiled in Chhattisgarhi.
Moreover, Chief Minister has also made computer education compulsory in Swami Atmanand English medium schools.
Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that education should be aimed at the physical, mental and intellectual development of a child, and this is the reason why the Chhattisgarh government is adopting an innovative approach to promote holistic education for the all-around development of children.
In another significant announcement, Baghel has said that the Sanskrit language will also be taught in Swami Atmanand English medium schools as a subject to promote Indian culture and tradition.
As per the three major decisions, Chhattisgarhi and other local dialects will also be encouraged.
