Mangalore: A large number of students from various schools and Colleges on Wednesday(March 21) morning, took to the streets, in response to a call for state-wide agitation, seeking  ‘Indianisation’ of education. They formed a human chain as ABVP activists, at the Basaveshwar circle along NH 66 at the Kadri Hills, around noon and shouted slogans.

Addressing them, state Vice-president of ABVP, Rohinaksha Shirlal told that there was a need to ‘indianise’ the entire education system in the country, to bring about a revolutionary change in the country’s future.

The present system smacks of Macaulay’s British rule, and has not changed in six decades of Indian freedom, he pointed out.

The state Government, had taken firm steps to indianise school education, but vested and alien elements turned against having separate ideological inclinations.

When other nations have modified educational methods to suit their own cultures, it was meaningless here to oppose that vital change to suit our age-old culture, he argued.

State secretary Ramesh and other activists of ABVP were present in the rally.
