The Human Resources Development Ministry has directed schools to stretch their schedule and show PM Narendra Modi's speech live to students on September 5.
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government has warned of strict action against government schools which fail to broadcast Prime Minister Modi's address on Teachers' Day.
The Human Resources Development (HRD) Ministry has directed schools to stretch their schedule and show Modi's speech live to students on September 5.
Schools, however, say they will be forced to alter their schedules. Generally schools wrap up by 2 pm, but the PM's address will be telecast from 3 pm to 5 pm, which means the children will be forced to sit an extra two hours.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said it was not a good move.
"Listening to Modi's speech should be voluntary. It's not good to force children to listen to Modi," he said.
