There is no Sunday holiday in Uttar Pradesh schools tomorrow, August 13, 2023. The Yogi Adityanath government has directed all basic and secondary schools of the state to stay open on Sunday for the implementation of Har Ghar Tiranga and Meri Mati Mera Desh programs under the Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav scheme.
The Har Ghar Tiranga program aims to hoist the national flag at every household in the state, while the Meri Mati Mera Desh program aims to inculcate the spirit of patriotism among students.
The government has said that special mid-day meals will be provided to all the students on Sunday. Poetry recitation competitions will also be organized in schools.
The decision to keep schools open on Sunday has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed the decision, saying that it is a good opportunity to teach students about patriotism and nationalism. Others have criticized the decision, saying that it is unfair to students who were expecting a Sunday holiday.
Only time will tell whether the Yogi Adityanath government's decision to keep schools open on Sunday will be successful. However, it is clear that the government is serious about inculcating the spirit of patriotism among the youth of Uttar Pradesh.
