The West Bengal government has ordered that all government and government-aided schools must sing the national song 'Vande Mataram' during morning assemblies. The directive, issued by the state’s School Education Department, requires schools to record videos of the assemblies as proof of compliance. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced that the practice will become mandatory from next Monday.
According to the official circular dated May 13, school heads have been instructed to ensure that all students participate in singing the song before classes begin each day. Previously, schools in the state typically sang only the national anthem 'Jana Gana Mana', and later included 'Banglar Mati, Banglar Jal', a song from the anti-partition movement. The new directive adds 'Vande Mataram' to the daily routine.
The decision has prompted questions among teachers about how both the national anthem and the national song can be accommodated within the limited time of morning assemblies.
