Haryana's government schools in India will now include mandatory reading of the Bhagavadgita, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, A P J Abdul Kalam, Buddha, Eklavya, and Sarojini Naidu as part of their value education curriculum. Previously optional, students must now read a revised text to be able to answer 10-mark questions. The state government formed a committee to rework value education, which decided to include verses from the Bhagavadgita for their inspirational value in building moral character. The book for classes IX-X will also include stories of Shivaji, Buddha, Ekalavya, Sister Nivedita, and Maitreyi.
