The State Council of Educational Research and Training, SCERT director, headed a seven-member committee that the Haryana government first established to restructure value education in line with the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) and National Education Policy (NEP).
An official working on new books said, “The committee decided to include verses from the Bhagavadgita for their inspirational value in building moral character. The sacred text can teach us fearlessness, simplicity, discipline, etiquette, dedication, focus, hard work, respect for nature, and the keys to success.”
Shivaji, Buddha, Sister Nivedita (an Irish teacher and disciple of Swami Vivekananda), Ekalavya (from the Mahabharata), and Maitreyi (an Indian philosopher from the later Vedic era in ancient India, mentioned in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad as the wife of the Vedic sage Yajnavalkya) are among the stories featured in the book for classes 9 and 10.
