Will discuss patriotism in schools to make students 'kattar deshbhakt': Delhi CM
While talking about patriotism during an event, the Chief Minister said, "Patriotism is not taught in our schools. We have decided to discuss patriotism every day for an hour in schools to make students 'kattar deshbhakts'. We will also take the teachings of Bhagat Singh and BR Ambedkar to every household."
Delhi government is mulling to discuss patriotism in schools every day for a duration of one hour to make students 'kattar deshbhakts'. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal informed the decision taken by the state government in this regard on Sunday, i.e. March 14. While talking about patriotism during an event, the Chief Minister said, "Patriotism is not taught in our schools. We have decided to discuss patriotism every day for an hour in schools to make students 'kattar deshbhakts'. We will also take the teachings of Bhagat Singh and BR Ambedkar to every household."
Recently, Delhi CM also laid the foundation stone of the sewage project in Kirari. He said, "We have allocated ₹500 crores budget for the sewage project in Kirari. We want your (public) support to complete the project before four years. Please cooperate when the work starts."
Meanwhile, Delhi University (DU) administration wrote a letter to the Delhi government stating that 12 of its fully funded colleges are bound to follow the University Grants Commission (UGC) norms in matters of budgeting and expenditure. The varsity further stated that the government cannot change the pattern of assistance for releasing funds. The University took this step a day before Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to meet the principals of the 12 colleges.
The principals are asked to produce details of appointments, and surplus funds available with them. Reports suggest that these 12 state government-funded colleges are at loggerheads with the Delhi government over funds for a long time. Earlier, the colleges alleged that the government either delayed the release of funds or gave “insufficient” funds, and the government alleged financial irregularities in these colleges claiming they had surplus reserves.
