The West Bengal Directorate of Madrasah Education has mandated the singing of “Vande Mataram” during assembly prayers in government, aided, and recognized madrasahs across the state. This decision, effective immediately, aligns madrasahs with state-run schools where singing the national song is compulsory. The official order from the Directorate emphasizes the immediate implementation of this new rule.
In response to this directive, the West Bengal Directorate of Madrasah Education has issued an official order requiring the singing of ‘Vande Mataram’ in all state-aided madrasahs. This move aims to standardize the practice across educational institutions in the state. The order specifies that the singing of the national song is mandatory before the commencement of classes in various types of madrasahs.
The West Bengal Education Department had previously made singing ‘Vande Mataram’ compulsory in state-run schools. This decision was later extended to include all schools under the School Education Department. The notifications from both the Madrasah Education Directorate and the Education Department underscore the immediate implementation of this requirement to sing the national song before classes begin.
The new directive aligns with the state government’s emphasis on the singing of ‘Vande Mataram’ as part of school assembly prayers. The move, aimed at fostering a sense of national pride and unity, reflects a broader initiative to promote cultural and patriotic values in educational settings. The official notifications from the concerned departments highlight the importance of this practice in all educational institutions.
