Bharatiya Shiksha Board gets approved by HRD Ministry for Vedic and modern studies
The ministry has given its approval for the setting of Bhartiya Shiksha Board (BSB). In a meeting of the governing council of the MSRVP and HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar.
In a bid to open the country’s first national school board for Vedic education, the Maharshi Sandipani Rashtriya Vedavidya Pratishthan (MSRVP) – an autonomous body falls under the Human Resource Development Ministry, is working to promote ‘ved vidya’. The ministry has given its approval for the setting of Bhartiya Shiksha Board (BSB). The decision took place in a meeting of the governing council of the MSRVP and HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar in the national capital. MoS for Law and Justice PP Chaudhary was also present at the meeting.
The ministry has been allotted a week’s time to board for the preparation of board’s bylaws. As per IE, the board is likely to perform duties like other school boards, such as making the curriculum, conduct examination and certificates. Once fully established, the organisations such as Acharyakulam, Vidya Bharati schools, gurukuls will be benefited.
As per the proposal, there will be a Vedic Education Board which will be controlled by VERI. It will allow mixing of both traditional gurukul system and modern syllabus. However, the plan was red- flagged by the then Secretary of School education SC Khuntia in 2016, citing that state’s approval for a private board might open doors from unrecognised school boards. But the ministry had silently put into action a plan to set up own boards for Vedic schools.
