CVC asks HRD Ministry to include anti-graft lessons in text books
A team of representative from the CVC, HRD Ministry, CBSE and NCERT are said to be working out the necessary modalities.
The Central Vigilance Commission has asked
Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry to include lessons on anti-corruption
in text books so that school children can be made aware about the detrimental
effect of graft. The Commission has taken up the matter with the Ministry and
an exercise is underway to include contents related to integrity and ethics in
students text books.
“We aim to consistently engage the children
through their curriculum on the issue of corruption and its detrimental effects.
For this purpose, we have initiated a dialogue with the Ministry of Human
Resource Development, for evaluating and suggesting changes in the existing
content on integrity and ethics in the National Council of Educational Research
and Training (NCERT) text books.
“Bringing awareness among children, the
future leaders and acquainting and empowering them will surely transform India
and make it corruption free,” Central Vigilance Commissioner K V Chowdary said
today.
A team of representative from the CVC, HRD
Ministry, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and NCERT are said to be
working out the necessary modalities.
The existing content on integrity and ethics
in text books has been reviewed and it has been found that they carry less or
no information on the harmful effect of the corruption, especially in the
present context, a senior CVC official said.
He said the plan is to have anti-corruption
related contents for students up to Class X. “The HRD Ministry is working in
close coordination with the CVC and very soon a draft will be ready,” the
official said.
