New Delhi, Nov 26 || Showcasing the education model of the AAP government in the national Capital, Chief Minister Atishi said on Tuesday that it was only in Delhi where a curriculum of patriotism is taught in government schools, apart from other subjects.
Addressing NCC cadets at the launch of an underground shooting range in Rohini, CM Atishi said many talented people are unable to pursue shooting due to the high cost involved.
“With such ranges, no economic constraint would be able to prevent them from winning medals for the country,” CM Atishi said, adding that another shooting range would be inaugurated soon at Kalkaji.
The Delhi Chief Minister said she would look forward to felicitating NCC cadets who, after training at the new shooting range, would win international medals in coming years.
Assuring 47,000 NCC cadets in Delhi of full support in coming times, CM Atishi said education’s purpose is not just to find a job.
“We need students to grow into patriots and I am sure Delhi government school students will pass out with the spirit of laying down their lives in the service of the nation,” CM Atishi said, highlighting the focus of the Directorate of Education on the ‘Desh Bhakti Curriculum’.
