On Teachers' Day, students to attend PM Modi ki paathshala
- 5 years ago
Unfazed by criticism from Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Friday afternoon address students across the country on the occasion of Teachers' Day. The Human Resources Development Ministry headed by Smriti Irani had earlier issued notice directing all educational institutions to ensure maximum presence of students during the Prime Minister's speech.
However, the move backfired and triggered criticism forcing the HRD Ministry to later clarify that attendance is not mandatory but it would be good if maximum students could attend the event.
PM Modi's speech and interaction would be shown to kids across the country through television and even webcast. To be able to attend the PM's speech, students will have to stay back till 5 pm, while schools generally close by noon on September 5.Several schools and colleges across the country have made special arrangements to show PM's speech on Teachers' Day. Many schools have given a leeway to junior students and those living in far off areas don't have to attend the address. Some schools have even changed their timings.
In order to ensure wider reach of PM Modi's interaction with school students, his speech will be streamed live on YouTube. The speech will also be broadcast live on DD news and Modi will personally address 1,000 students at Delhi's Manekshaw Auditorium.
A select number of students will get the opportunity to ask nearly 15 to 20 questions to the Prime Minister depending on how long the Q&A session will last. The entire session will start at 3 pm and will go on till 4:45 pm.
Though no private school has formally complained or refused to comply, there are reports that some institutions in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu have opposed the move and announced that they will not comly with the HRD Ministry's directive.
