Deshbhakti Curriculum launched in Delhi School

|NDTV|

Every child in Delhi will be a patriot in the true sense, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal exuded as he launched the AAP government's ambitious ''Deshbhakti Curriculum'' on Tuesday.

At the launch event held at Chhatrasal Stadium on the birth anniversary of revolutionary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, the chief minister remarked that nowadays people feel patriotic only while raising the Tricolour or singing the national anthem.

But patriotism has to be a continually evolving feeling within everyone, he said.

"In the last 74 years, we taught physics, chemistry and maths in our schools but did not teach ''deshbhakti'' to the children. Patriotism is within all of us but it needs a push. Every child in Delhi will be a patriot in the truest sense. The ''Deshbhakti Curriculum'' will prove to be instrumental in the country's development and will take India forward rapidly."
