Indore: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Bhagwad Gita would be included in school curriculum.
"Teaching Gita is no crime and the government would include the teaching of Gita in educational curriculum," Chouhan said while addressing a function organised by the RSS-backed Saraswati Vidya Pratishthan here on Sunday.
Claiming English has been overemphasised compared to other subjects in school curriculum, the chief minister said his government's priority was to "correct" the curriculum and promote Hindi.
He also said most of the government work is done in Hindi and the state would not hesitate to encourage any good work done for promoting Hindi.
