It’s not just at home that kids learn traditional values and morals. Schools are trying their bit too and this time a little more seriously! An all new private bill aims to make the Gita a mandatory subject in all schools. It also recommends de-recognising any institute that refuses to follow the order, should the bill be approved.

The Compulsory Teaching Of Bhagavad Gita As a Moral Education Text Book In Educational Institutions Bill, 2016 states the following:
1. Every educational institution should “compulsorily” teach the Gita as moral education
2. The bill does not apply to minority schools.
3. The government should de-recognise schools that do not comply with the provisions of this legislation.
Further, the books will contain teachings that range from thoughts on spiritual awakening to lessons on leadership and management. The government would need to make provisions of Rs. 5,000 crore for implementing this legislation, and would also entail a non-recurring expenditure of about Rs. 100 crore.
However, only time will tell us how far this will be implemented.
