New Delhi – Students of Delhi government schools will soon be taught about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), featuring lessons on freedom fighters including Veer Savarkar, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Education Minister Ashish Sood said on Tuesday.

“The chapter on RSS is being added under this programme to inculcate civic and social consciousness among students and to bring Fundamental Duties into focus,” Sood said.

A new chapter under the educational programme titled 'Rashtraneeti' has been designed to promote civic awareness, ethical governance and national pride among students from Class 1 to Class 12.

As part of the course, children will be taught about the origin and history of the RSS, its ideology and the role of its workers in extending help during natural disasters and the freedom struggle. The lessons also aim to address misconceptions about the organisation, a source told PTI.

According to him, the contributions mentioned in the text will highlight RSS participation in the freedom struggle, along with its social work, such as blood donation drives, food supply, rescue efforts during disasters like the Kedarnath and Bihar floods, and relief activities during the Covid pandemic.
