Bhopal 31 July 2021: Chief Minister Chouhan has said that both good education and health for the students are important for us. In view of Corona infection in the state, we have gradually started classes. Classes IX and X are also being started from August 5. At present these classes will be held for only two days a week.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that schools and colleges were closed during the Corona period, but teaching work continued be it through online classes or through TV programmes, radio, WhatsApp groups etc. Parents and teachers have also played an important role in this arrangement.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan held virtual discussions with students, teachers and parents from the Chief Minister’s residence in the ‘Student Dialogue Programme’ today. Minister of State for School Education (Independent Charge) Inder Singh Parmar was also present in the programme.
Student should set goals
Chief Minister Chouhan said that students should set their own goals. He told the students to set their goals like Arjuna. Just as during the course of archery training, when Guru Dronacharya asked what he could see, Arjuna had said that he could see neither a tree nor a bird, he could see only a bird’s eye, similarly students should also concentrate and pursue their studies.
Hamara Ghar-Hamara Vidyalaya
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the role of parents as co-educators increases even more in these challenging times. You must create a conducive environment for studies in the family and realize the vision of ‘Hamara Ghar- Hamara Vidyalaya’. Maintain lively contact with parents and teachers and keep children engaged in physical activities like sports, exercise, pranayama etc. Parents must maintain lively contact with teachers and keep their children engaged in physical activities like sports, exercise, pranayama etc. along with academics.
Parents are the first teachers
Chief Minister Chouhan said that parents are the first teachers of children. The values that you give them, decides their future. I remember after the birth of both my sons, I first recited the Gayatri Mantra in their ears. Even today, I keep motivating them to study religious texts.
‘National Achievement Survey’ in November
Chief Minister Chouhan said that under the new education policy, NAS (National Achievement Survey) would also be organized in November, in which the target should be to bring the state of Madhya Pradesh among the top 10. More emphasis has been laid on vocational education in the new education policy. CM Rise Schools will be opened in the state with a view to develop ‘Culture of Excellence’ to provide world-class and quality education to the students and prepare them for future jobs.
Take care of your health too
Chief Minister Chouhan advised the children to take care of their health along with studies. He told them to have good and healthy food. He told them to eat three types of food. Hita Bhog – means that which is beneficial, Mita Bhog - which is eaten less than hunger and Ritu Bhog - which is according to the season.
‘Guzra zamana bachpan ka ........’
Singing the lines ‘Guzra Zamana Bachpan Ka’, Chief Minister Chouhan said that I still remember my childhood friends, my teachers, my mischief-making and what I ate. We also used to eat ber, kabeet, mango etc. in school. Today you are eating more junk food like pizza, burger, cold drinks, which are injurious to health. You may eat it, but only occasionally.
During the programme, Chief Minister Chouhan held discussions with Sushri Aastha Tiwari of Vidisha, Prashant of Damoh, Manya Sahu of Jabalpur, Mohit Sharma of Raisen and Shruti Gupta of Bhopal.
