For this, the government will provide all the necessary facilities and funds to the schools. Also, schools will be reviewed from time to time by the Directorate of Education (DoE) officials to check the maintenance of schools,” said Sisodia. . Sisodia also said that schools are implementing the curriculum well and the results are evident. “But to make it a huge success the government will need their further support.

They must ensure that dedicated duration for Mindset Curricula should not be utilized for any other subject”, he said.
