New Delhi, Jan 27: In a bizarre proposal submitted to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government, the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh has recommended that schools in big cities work for longer hours to make the working parents by keeping their children away.
The proposal prepared by Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shikshan Sansthan, the education wing of the RSS and submitted to the Human and Resource Development Ministry, also points out that co-education will have to be discontinued if working hours of schools are extended.
The proposal has also emphasised that the new policy should stress on “Indianization of Education” including learning Sanskrit from middle school level so that they do not need “the assistance of foreign words”.
The right wing outfit has now suggested that schools in metropolises work 12 hours a day (7.30 AM – 7.30 PM) to enable children learn more languages, apart from relieving "their (working) parents from the task of making children do homework... or (the) need for (sending) them to tuitions," according to a report.
The RSS and other saffron outfits, collectively called the Sangh Parivar, have grown more vocal about policy matters after the Narendra Modi-led BJP government came to power at the Centre in May 2014. The ruling party and its ideological partners have been accused by the opposition of trying to "saffronze" the education system in the name of “Indianization”
Earlier in the month, Vidya Bharati said it wanted to set up a model school in every block in the country. Formed in 1977, Vidya Bharati now runs 12,364 schools and 49 colleges across the country.
It also reasoned that learning Sanskrit will help improve the children’s pronunciation and spelling skills.
“It’s easy for children to learn languages in childhood. That’s why they should be taught various languages — their mother tongue, Sanskrit, Hindi, English and regional languages,” said the proposal.
The RSS also argued that extending school hours would give students time to extra-curricular activities. The Hindutva group has also advocated improvements in teachers’ training by introducing a minimum 50%-mark threshold for all aspirants who will then be selected through an entrance exam.
Apr 23: An FIR has been registered in Nagpur against Republic TV channel's editor Arnab Goswami for promoting social disharmony and accusing Congress President Sonia Gandhi of orchestrating the Palghar lynching.

Bachelors club want to create rule for families.... First get married then U can follow this rules... and then dont stop modi to reunite his wife... U cheddis have ruined his family life...
It is RSS suggetion.. it means MAD
Learing sanskrit in schools and colleges....i dont think it is an issue at all....we learned kannada, hindi, english...sanskrit is also one of that kind....interesting...
Well, everyone understand the sanskrit, people read & understand the vedas, githas. May they turn real religion
Who are they to decide education strategy. It seems RSS is the supreme authority of governance than indian government. It shows RSS is the decision maker and indian government is simply implementing.
May Allah save our country.
Not all the suggestions are bad.
Support the idea:
- Banning co-education system.
- Relieving parents from Home works system.
- Learning Languages should be optional.
- Indianization of education is Ok, westernization has ruined the family values.
- Extra-curricular activity is good, to know the interest of children.
- Working parents can have option of having their children for long hours at schools where Hindus can study Sanskrit, Muslim can learn Arabic and Christians can have their preference.
Not supporting the idea:
- 12 hrs. is too much, most of the developed countries they limit the working hours of adults to 8 hrs. only.
- Forcing Sanskrit to all is too much.
Indian culture is good, family value is eroding which is bad for society as a whole. But forcing the ideas seems to be dangerous.
12Hrs, we don't want to tell even our enemy's children
Samskri : Nothing should be imposed. It is the people's choice.
We should see where the world is heading.
English : Now the important language is for this worldly life is English.
Arabic : Arabic is also big plus point for job seekers. 22 Countries have mother toungue as Arabic. This is the 2nd highest spoken language
DEAR FRIENDS ,
WHO COMMENTED ABOVE.. YOU PEOPLE FORGOT TO ASK WHO ARE THEY TO TELL TO GOV WHAT TO DO AND ALL..
WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT SANSKRIT.. FIRST OF ALL THEY HAVE TO LEARN TO WEAR PROPER DRESS....NOT CHADIIES ...
RSS RSS RSS, in logo ko koi kaam nahin hain kya, indian citizens doesnt need your recommendations for education, go and teach your chaddis what to do and what not to do, hypocrites.
its a fact that children from India are spending 20~30% more time in Schools when compared to US/UK childrens..
For 8 Hours daily school times:
-> already they carry 5~6 kg school bags, this will raise to 8~9 kgs.
-> Children need to take healthy food, who will feed them during such a long period.
-> does all schools in states are eligible to keep the students for 12 hours with all such activities., if you survey our states may be hardly you can find 2~3% schools are fit with all activities...other 98% schools are hard to spend 8 hours.
-> why teachers must work for 12 hours daily (against labor law).
before, making any regulation gossips..pls just look for facts...
THE BACHELOR CLUB now wants to separate the FAMILIES ...
Wa re WA --- A clear Sign to those who think, the cheddis who are against women (Cheddis will never be successful with whatever they play with thier devilish agenda.)
Majority of their leaders arent married, hence any suggestion from them on how to raise children should be neglected!!!
None of the chaddis may know the sanskrit language before pushing others to learn
RSS is terrorising children, 12 hours schooling is too much for small children....and its inhuman....its okay if they go with discontinuing co-education....well and fine and its islamic way of thinking....However, at the end more expenses for developing country like India, will have to build more schools and colleges separately for both....
