MP schools to have Bhagwad Gita in curriculum

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that "Bhagwad Gita" would be included in the school curriculum in the state.
   
"Teaching Gita is no crime and the government would include teaching of Gita in educational curriculum," Chouhan said while addressing a function organised by the RSS-backed Saraswati Vidya Pratishthan here on Sunday.
   
Observing that English has been overemphasized compared to other subjects in the school curriculum, the chief minister said his government's priority was to "correct" the curriculum and promote importance of Hindi.
   
He also said that most of the government work is done in Hindi and the state would not hesitate to encourage any good work done for promoting Hindi.
