TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has incorporated Mahatma Gandhi’s principles in the new National Education Policy (NEP) as well as in several government projects and schemes.
Shah was speaking at Kochrab Ashram in Paldi area of Ahmedabad, where he was present to flag off a bicycle rally till Dandi in south Gujarat to celebrate the 92nd anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s Salt March. Twelve cyclists would travel on the same Dandi March route to spread the message of Mahatma Gandhi.
The minister said had India walked on the path shown by Gandhiji from the beginning, the country would not have been facing most of the issues that it is grappling with at present. “The problem is that we diverted from the path shown by Gandhiji.
PM Narendra Modi has incorporated Gandhiji’s ideals in the new education policy, such as the importance of mother tongue and national languages as well as employment-oriented education. All these Gandhian principles have been weaved into the policy by the PM,” Shah said in his address at the ashram.
