In Madhya Pradesh, teachers from RSS schools may be roped in for govt schools

Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan (VBABSS), an RSS organisation, has readied a proposal to loan teachers from about 1,000 SSMs to nearby government primary schools.

Teachers from the RSS-run Saraswati Shishu Mandirs (SSM) could soon get sanction from the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh to teach pro bono in government primary schools.

Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan (VBABSS), an RSS organisation, has readied a proposal to loan teachers from about 1,000 SSMs to nearby government primary schools. The education department has welcomed the idea, citing the “excellent track record’’ of the organisation, especially in rural areas.

“We run several sanskar kendras and students attend them after school hours. Now we plan to teach them during school hours, with permission from the government and the school in-charge. Though the idea is to focus on mathematics and language, the traditional weak spots, we will also introduce cultural activities, if permitted, that are common in SSMs,’’ Madhya Bharat chief of VBABSS Ramkumar Bhavsar told The Indian Express.

After a pilot run, the plan is expected to be implemented in 1,000 schools in a few months.

“The organisation has an excellent track record in rural areas. We have no hesitation in accepting the proposal, but the proposal is yet to reach me,” said Minister of State for School Education Deepak Joshi.
