What is Deshbhakti Curriculum?
The Deshbhakti Curriculum Framework draws three primary goals - Knowledge, Values, and Behaviour.
According to the Directorate of Education (DoE), under the Deshbhakti curriculum, one period each day will be allotted to the students of Nursery to Class 8 for patriotism studies, while two classes per week will be allotted to the students of classes 9 to 12.
"Every Deshbhakti period shall start with a five-minute ‘Deshbhakti Dhyaan’, where the teacher and students shall practice mindfulness, reflect on their gratitude for the country, freedom fighters, and any five persons that they consider Deshbhakti, and pledge their respect for the country," reads the official statement issued by the DoE last week.
