Children will say 'Jai Hind' instead of 'Good Morning' in schools, change is happening from 15th August, government has issued order

Independence Day 2024: From this Independence Day, all schools in Haryana will now use 'Jai Hind' instead of 'Good Morning'. This information has been given in a government circular. A circular issued by the state government's Directorate of School Education on Thursday said that the move initiated by the Haryana government aims to instill a deep sense of patriotism and national pride among the students.

The circular states that the slogan 'Jai Hind' was given by Subhash Chandra Bose during India's freedom struggle and after independence it was adopted as a salute by the armed forces. The Directorate of School Education has sent this circular to all District Education Officers, District Primary Education Officers, District Block Education Officers, Block Primary Education Officers, Headmasters and Principals.

According to the circular, schools will now use 'Jai Hind' instead of 'Good Morning' so that students can be 'inspired by the spirit of national unity' every day and show 'respect' to the country's rich history. It said 'Jai Hind' transcends regional, linguistic and cultural differences and promotes unity among students from diverse backgrounds.
