Gita And Ramayan to taught in 100 madarsa
In 100 madrasas, the National Institution of Open Schooling (NIOS) has introduced a new framework wherein Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagwad Gita and Ramayana, as well as ancient Indian wisdom and heritage, will be studied.
On the one side, the same national government in Assam, where they aim to close down the Madrasas, is engaged in concluding the decision to educate several Madrasas in mythological and religious texts. The Gita and Ramayana will be taught in madrasas around the world as part of this initiative.
The NIOS Latest Program consists of 15 ‘Bhartiya Jnana Parampara’ modules. Classes 3, 5 and 8 in primary education are comparable to these.
NIOS is an independent institution under the Education ministry. In Class Three, Five and Eight children studying in Madrasa under their program, NIOS has prepared a simple course of Gita and Ramayana. Chairman of NIOS Saroj Sharma, who provided information, said that we are now planning to introduce it in 100 madrasas, but soon in 500 madrasas in the country.
The Union Minister of Education, Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal, introduced the new NIOS curriculum. He said that India was an arsenal of ancestral culture science and history when he unveiled the study material.
“India has all the potential to become a knowledge superpower with a rich and ancient heritage,” he said.
