Learning is incomplete unless it is blended with the country’s art, culture and tradition: Education Minister
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said that learning is incomplete unless it is blended with the country’s art, culture and tradition. India's Presidency of G-20 is an opportunity to showcase our rich ideology and heritage before the global community, he said.
The Education Minister said this after inaugurating the Rastriya Kala Utsav in Odisha capital Bhubaneswar organized by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in collaboration with the Union Ministry of Education. “There is a strong link between art and culture in our education system. An effort is on to include art and culture in curriculum,” he said.
The students, teachers and other stakeholders of 36 states and union territories have participated in the Kala Ustav which continues since 2015. As many as 38 troupes with about 800 student-participants will perform in the Ustav. The Education Minister said "Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the Kala Ustav in 2015 with an aim to make India a Viswa Guru (global leader) during the Amrit Kaal."
”Teaching and learning could be complete without on-boarding the country's culture and heritage. The Kala Utsav will act as a bridge between the two,” he said.
He asked the participating children to visit Konark and explore the Sun Temple that presents the marvelous iconography and rich artwork of the State. The Minister said India is organizing the G-20 summit.
“This G-20 summit will give us an opportunity to showcase India’s art, culture and heritage before the world. I appeal the participants of this Ustav to take initiative to reach India’s glorious cultural heritage in the world platform,” he said.
