In small developing minds, bombarding western ideologies and educating students accordingly, they are losing the significance of their own culture and heritage. In order to combat this, students studying in government schools in Madhya Pradesh would soon be receiving lessons regarding local festivals, culture, traditions, rituals and beliefs thorough ‘Aaspass ki Khoj’ initiative.
Madhya Pradesh government would impart lessons to students about local festivals, culture, traditions, rituals and beliefs in their respective areas under its proposed “Aaspass Ki Khoj” (which means search in the vicinity) programme.
“In order to apprise students of government schools about the local culture, traditions and rituals; ‘Aaspass Ki Khoj’ programme is being launched by the School Education Department,” a Public Relations department officer said. 2,966 schools have been selected from 51 districts, adding that the projects will be prepared by wards under the programme.
