Students across the country will be taught the ‘correct’ version of Indian history under the National education Policy (NEP) from Vasant Panchami on January 26, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Tuesday.

Speaking at an event jointly organized by the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) and the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bhartiya Itihaas Sankalp Yojana, the minister said the books are being re-published with new creations and these books are about India. I will give clarity to the world.

Under the National Education Policy, from January 26, on the occasion of Vasant Panchami, students across the country will be taught the correct version of Indian history. NEP will provide us many opportunities. Mother tongue has been given priority in NEP. Providing education without giving priority to mother tongue is futile.
