Meghalaya Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui visited the Delhi government’s Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Rouse Avenue on Wednesday to experience a happiness class session and interact with students.
After the visit, Mr. Rymbui said that the happiness class was very important for the youth of today and he had come to study how he could replicate the initiative in Meghalaya.
“I have formed a task force to revise the State curriculum framework. I have come to see whether this could be replicated there or if it could be modified based on our own culture and identities. I came with an open mind to learn, and I will share what I have learnt with my officers. I will also send my officers here to understand the curriculum,” Mr. Rymbui said.
First year of launch
Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia said the government was celebrating the first year of the launch of the Happiness Curriculum with a 15-day festival. He expressed happiness that students of Delhi could interact and exchange ideas about the models of education in the two States.
“We have to grow together as a nation. Our financial systems, our education systems are integrated and have to advance together,” Mr. Sisodia said.
“It is very easy to say we have launched a Happiness Class, but it is important that the ‘Happiness’ is being imbibed by the students,” Mr. Rymbui said after interacting with students.
