NEW DELHI: Delivering his Independence Day speech at Delhi Secretariat, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced the 'Deshbhakti' curriculum would be rolled out in government schools from September 27 as a tribute to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.
The chief minister said the aim was to instil a feeling of pride in every child and also to prepare them to give their everything for the nation.
He also announced that yoga classes would be started in Delhi's halls and parks from October 2.
"Delhi gave yoga to the entire world but now it is becoming extinct. Apart from the International Yoga Day celebrations on June 21 that is held every year, there is not much happening for yoga. We will be starting yoga classes and are preparing a huge team of yoga teachers and instructors. A group of 30-40 people, who want to learn yoga, can approach us and we will provide yoga instructors," Kejriwal said.
