The Education Department in Rajasthan has announced that February 28 will be celebrated as Maharana Pratap's State Ascension Day in all schools, with various activities planned to honor the historical figure.
The Education Department of Rajasthan has issued an order mandating all schools to celebrate Maharana Pratap's State Ascension Day on February 28. This initiative arises from a desire to instill a sense of pride and patriotism among students regarding the life of Maharana Pratap, a notable warrior in Indian history. The celebration is aimed at reinforcing values and knowledge regarding the heroism of Maharana Pratap, who played a significant role in the resistance against Mughal rule.
As per the directives, the celebration will not interfere with the scheduled board exams for classes 5, 8, 10, and 12, ensuring that academic commitments are maintained. Students will participate in prayer meetings that include discussions about Maharana Pratap's life, patriotic songs, and other engaging educational activities. This celebration intends to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Maharana Pratap's contributions and to inspire them through various contests such as essays and quizzes.
This observance of Maharana Pratap's State Ascension Day is also reflected in the Shivira Panchang, signaling its importance within the education framework of the state. By integrating such historical celebrations into school curricula, Rajasthan aims to teach students about their cultural heritage and motivate them to uphold virtuous ideals that Maharana Pratap embodied in his life.
