‘If our children read Vedas…’: Ahead of 2027 Punjab polls, AAP’s Manish Sisodia advocates Vedic education

Sisodia connected Vedic insights to modern science, noting that “ancient rishis and gurus realized thousands of years ago what the world now explores in laboratories”. He said that “if our children study the Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Gita, and other guru literature alongside scientific pursuits, they will become great scientists”.

Bains said that education “was the sole pathway to meaningful societal change”. “If we wish to transform society, the only solution is to instill the very principles and values in the children through education”, he added.

Bains and Sisodia highlighted Punjab’s demands ahead of the Union Budget on February 1. Bains demanded increased education funding and stated that to make India a true superpower, education has a pivotal role. With just 1–1.5% of the budget allocated to schools, colleges, and research, progress is impossible and at least 10% should be dedicated to the education system, they said.
