Pansheriya further said,

1.The Shrimadbhagawadgeeta, the greatest scripture of Sanatan Dharma, is the essence of our entire life. It has unique points regarding building a better society, spirituality, management, leadership, creativity, developing values etc.

2.I am happy that the students will recite the Shrimadbhagawadgeeta and achieve high goals without accepting defeat when facing adversities in life. Their attitude will change. Education received at this young age will be remembered throughout their lifetime.

Editorial Perspective

If this is possible in Gujarat, then Hindu scriptures can be taught in other States and educational institutions in collaboration with the Union Government.
