Team News Riveting
Patna, December 17
The Vice President of Advocates Association at Patna High Court and Bihar’s leading lawyer, Mrs Chhaya Mishra has demanded to include the Constitution as a compulsory subject in the course of schools and colleges.
She has written a letter to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in this regard. “We are celebrating the 75th year of our Constitution with the Parliament also joining it. May I request you to make the Constitution a compulsory subject of study in our schools and colleges,” Mrs Mishra wrote.
Law colleges are teaching the Constitution, but degree and post graduate students of other faculties are deprived of even basic features of the Constitution, she said. Teachings on Constitution can be introduced at school stages itself, Mrs Mishra opined.
School students from classes six to eight must be taught basic features, like articles, directive principles, fundamental rights etc and between classes nine and 12, details including amendments can be told through text books and visits to the law makers institutions, she added.
Mrs Mishra urged the Union Minister to get the Constitution included in the curriculum from the New Year.
