To mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the state government of Punjab has decided to introduce one of his favourite hymns in schools.
State council of education research and training has written a letter to all district education officers of Punjab asking them to introduce hymn 'Vaishnava Jana Te' in morning assembly on every Monday in all upper primary, middle, secondary and senior secondary schools.
The letter states that hindi teacher of these schools may be asked to get the original lyrics of the hymn through youtube and teach the children.
This activity is the part of an action plan made to observe 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi.
