They should be able to provide leadership to society in case there is such a need in the future. leadership qualities are required not just for fighting elections but to develop overall individual personality,” Sisodia said.
“In our first year we focused on educational infrastructure. In the second year, we devoted our energy to providing international level training to teachers. These activities will continue. But now in our third year, we will focus on making learning more creative and productive,” he added.
The Minister also clarified that the proposed leadership programme will be introduced in a few select schools and gradually expanded to include every school in Delhi.
