Maharana Pratap’s Coronation Day will be commemorated in all government and private schools across Rajasthan on February 28 as per directives from the state Education Department. The observance aims to inspire students by showcasing the life, bravery, and legacy of the Rajput ruler Maharana Pratap.
The Directorate of Education has provided detailed guidelines to schools statewide for the observance of this significant day. Celebrations are to be organized without disrupting the ongoing board exams for Classes 5, 8, 10, and 12.
Schools have been instructed to conduct special prayer assemblies featuring stories from Maharana Pratap’s life, patriotic songs, and activities highlighting his contributions and leadership. Additionally, various competitions like essay writing and quizzes will be held to foster students’ understanding of Maharana Pratap’s courage and patriotism.
The decision to mark Maharana Pratap’s Coronation Day in schools was made following a request put forth during the National Swadeshi Fair in Chittorgarh. Local residents and public representatives, led by Chittorgarh MP C.P. Joshi, advocated for the statewide observance, which was subsequently approved by Education and Panchayati Raj Minister Madan Dilawar.
