His divine preaching in the form of the Gita is a treasure to the world. It is very important for teachers and parents to work in unison to impart the richness of our culture and customs. Giving insight to students on the rich scriptures through storytelling is an essential part of the current education as the Nation Education Policy brings before us. Through these activities, the knowledge of the students gets a boost as well as brings out the multifaceted personality of the child.
