Patna: Aiming to 'depollute' academics, the NDA government in Bihar has decided to remove a chapter on RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav from class VIII syllabus.
The government has also decided to remodel the Charwaha and Pahelwan schools, pet projects of Lalu.
"Lalu's life cannot be a model for school students. The NDA government will review the matter and make necessary deletion on Lalu's life in the class VIII curriculum," state Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Brishen Patel said on Sunday.
About possible inclusions, Patel said that life of social activist from a Dalit family Jyotiba Phule will be included which will be inspiring for the children.
Patel added that the Charwaha and Pahelwan schools are good, but the previous government used it only as a 'slogan' and did not provide basic infrastructure for children.
Without specifying whether the nomenclatures would be retained, he made it clear that new schools, which will replace Charwaha and Pahelwan schools, would be kept away from the RJD regime.
"The NDA government would remodel these schools to make them rewarding centres of vocational training for the poor and deprived children," Patel said.
"The Charwaha and Pahelwan schools have been much maligned, we will not allow their black shadows to prevail over the restructured models of these educational centres," he added.
