“that the books and syllabuses taught in the country’s schools and colleges change as and when the government changes and called for making education politics-free.”

Delhi University’s Sanskrit department and the RSS-backed Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas (SSUN) organized a seminar on 24th November. According to PTI, Batra was addressing a seminar on New Education Policy 2015 at Delhi University when he said, “In our country, when the government changes, we see all books are being changed, syllabus also changes which creates an atmosphere of tension.

The status of education in Bharat is highly fragmented. It is limited to providing degrees to students and has also lost its research essence.”
