Staff Reporter

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that books like Ramcharitmanas show us the path and guides us. The episodes of Gita and Mahabharata along with Ramcharit Manas will be included in the school curriculum.

This context will be helpful in moral and spiritual education. The best manifestation of knowledge is in one’s mother tongue. The state government will make every effort to encourage education in the mother tongue by ending the supremacy of English. In this direction, initiative has been taken to conduct medical and engineering studies in Hindi. Chouhan was addressing the Sughosh Darshan program of Vidya Bharti Madhya Bharat Prant, Saraswati Vidya Pratishthan Madhya Pradesh on the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Chouhan offered floral tributes at the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and garlanded the picture of Maa Saraswati and a figure of Om at the venue.

All India Organization Secretary Govind Chandra Mahant, retired Major General TPS Rawat also expressed their views. Banwari Lal Saxena, President of Vidya Bharti Madhya Bharat was also present. More than 1500 students, professors and teachers from 75 schools of 16 districts participated in the programme. Students of 75 Ghosh units of Madhya Bharat formed Om, Swastik symbol, Sughosh 2023 and number 75 while playing instruments including flute, conch shells, side drum, bamboo drum and other instruments on the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence.

The Chief Minister said that we acquired independence as a result of struggle and sacrifice of thousands of revolutionaries. After independence, many revolutionaries were not even mentioned for a long time. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had an important contribution in the liberation from the British. His slogan ‘Tum mujhe khoon do, mein tumhe azadi dunga’ energized the whole country. It was under his leadership that the Azad Hind Fauj first hoisted the country's flag. Prime Minister Modi has tried to repay the debt of his contribution by installing the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

Chouhan said that India is a very ancient and great nation. The efforts being made by Vidya Bharti to keep the traditions intact here are commendable. In the field of education, India has been a world leader since ancient times. The three objectives of education are to acquire knowledge, skill development and to develop the values ??of citizenship. Through the activities conducted by Vidya Bharti, students are getting opportunities to reveal their talents. Programs like Sughosh Darshan are helpful in increasing the organization capacity by increasing the tendency to work collectively along with increasing the physical ability of the students.

Govind Chandra Mahant, All India Organization Secretary of Vidya Bharti threw light on the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and his contribution in the freedom struggle. He said that Netaji has continuously been the source of communication of the spirit of patriotism. A confluence of discipline, enthusiasm, talent and bravery was apparent in his working style. Taking the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence as an occasion, activities are going on for building a better India.

Retired Major General TPS Rawat said that India’s independence was not possible without the contribution of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Citing the context of India's 1962 war with China, Major General Rawat said that courage and determination are necessary to face the challenges ahead.
