A very important decision has been taken by the state government in Gujarat at present. Earlier, under the National Education Policy, it was recommended to teach Shrimad Bhagwad Gita to students studying in Std. 6th to 12th. Today, this recommendation has been accepted by the state government and it has been decided to impart knowledge of Gita to the students studying in Std. 6 to 12. Earlier it was decided by the education department to give importance to English language along with Gujarati in Std-1 and Std-2, but now it has been decided to bring one more change in the education policy in the state.
