Focus of India’s New Education Policy is Indianisation of education system: MP minister – Times of India

In order to integrate Indian culture with education, besides Ramcharitmanas, the department has also planned to incorporate Bhagwad Geeta in second year undergraduate programme, he told reporters on Wednesday.

“If I talk about the crest in the history of those born in India, what will I do wrong, what crime will I commit? Lord Ram and Lord Krishna were born in India if there is someone else please let me know, I’ll try to get it included,” said Yadav pointing that the ancient texts are being added to strengthen Indian roots and glorious past.

He added that no other religious scriptures will be included in the curriculum as the roots of the country are in India and not from outside the country. However, equal opportunity will be given in terms of languages and students will be encouraged to learn in their own mother tongue as there is a great emphasis on the promotion of mother tongues, said Yadav.

Besides the scared ancient texts, life stories of Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar, Raja Bhoj, Vikramaditya, etc will also be included in the curriculum.

Yadav said that the Directorate of higher education has already instructed all the government and private colleges of the state to get National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accredited.

“NAAC visits have been done at as many as 47 colleges and we are ensuring that the colleges are provided with everything required from our end, “ he said.

According to Yadav, in Madhya Pradesh, there are around 11000 posts of faculty members of which 6500 posts are permanent via Public Service commission (PSC).

“We had invited applications for 1100 posts of which 900 were backlog posts. We have been getting faculty members recruited and within a span of three years we will get all the vacancies filled,” said Yadav who also added that the department has already informed Madhya Pradesh Public Service commission (MPPSC) for recruitment of assistant professors.
