Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Thursday, criticised educational institutions for keeping a distance from government welfare schemes until they are made a part of the curriculum on the state government’s instruction.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of a three-day conference on ‘National Summit of Institutional Leaders: Instructions for national development’ organised by Vidya Bharati and Ucchha Shiksha Sansthan at Lucknow University, the chief minister also questioned the controversy over the chanting of the national song Vande Mataram by some people. He said that it is a matter of pride that Saraswati Vandana and Vande Mataram were kept alive by institutions like Saraswati Shishu Mandir and Vidya Bharati.
In his address, the CM further said that no one can stop India from establishing itself as a developed country, and for that, educational institutions must play an important role in making Viksit Bharat as desired by prime minister Narendra Modi.
