“The curriculum at all levels of education in the state will be updated in a phased manner to ensure Bharatiya cultural values such as seva, ahimsa, swachchhata, satya, nishkam, karma, shanti and adhyatmikta are incorporated into the same.”
The government has taken value-curriculum steps: the CM directed Gita lessons and broader cultural content, government schools began Gita-shloka teaching in assemblies, and officials later said Ramayana and Mahabharata excerpts would be added under the 30% state-content flexibility. But the promise covered curriculum updates at all levels and a broader list of Bharatiya values; TOI also reported localised curriculum and wider NEP restructuring were still incomplete. This is partial, not fulfilled. Budget status: no promise-specific curriculum-revision allocation found.
TOI reported that Ramayana and Mahabharata excerpts were planned for the school curriculum using the state-content component.
