‘Saffronisation’ of curriculum kicks up row in Council

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada:The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council has witnessed a heated debate on the remarks made by a member on Wednesday on “‘saffronisation” of curriculum under the Centre’s newly introduced National Education Policy. YSR Congress MLC Pandula Ravindra Babu asked the government to explain the status of NEP and alleged that “saffronisation” of curriculum was being taken up under the NDA rule in the country. YSR Congress members staged a walkout when the minister gave a presentation on ‘Reforms in Education Sector’ and raised their doubts about the secular nature of NEP. Leader of the Opposition Botsa Satyanarayana justified their action by saying, “Since marshals were called in to remove them from the council forcibly, we staged a walkout gracefully without being subjected to humiliation.” Botsa suggested to the chairman to verify the records vis-à-vis the statements of the minister and the YSRC member.
