Baba Ramdev apprised the Chief Minister of his mission, undertaken through the Patanjali Trust, to reform India’s education system. He elaborated on the Bhartiya Shiksha Board and its role in transforming the curriculum and policies to align with Indian traditions.
He remarked, “For 190 years, our country has followed the education system introduced by Lord Macaulay in 1835. This curriculum merely focuses on literacy—learning alphabets (Akshar), language (Bhasha), and subjects (Vishaya). It lacks the essence of eternal values, spirituality, philosophy, and the cultural heritage that form the foundation of the Sanatan way of life.”
“To restore India’s ancient glory as Vishwa Guru in all fields—including education, science, Ayurveda, nuclear energy, space exploration, and socio-economic prosperity—we must inculcate traditional knowledge and values in younger generations,” Baba Ramdev emphasized.
Earlier, he also met with academicians and representatives of private schools to discuss educational challenges and reforms.
Baba Ramdev also announced plans to expand the activities of Patanjali Yogpeeth, Karauli, in Rajasthan. The institution aims to provide holistic education and training, covering yoga, Ayurvedic healthcare, and Gurukul-based learning for the masses.
