Sisodia said that while today’s youth thought of getting a job at the age of 21, Ashfaqullah Khan, at the age of just 27, “faced the biggest challenge of achieving the country’s independence and joined the freedom movement”. joined”.
“The country is facing three biggest challenges today – not every child is getting quality education, unemployment and low economic progress… , our youth should also work together
Passion and patriotism to overcome the challenges facing the country,” he said.
Sisodia said the Kejriwal government is “nurturing patriotism” in government school students through patriotism, happiness and entrepreneurship mindset curriculum to meet these current challenges.

“Patriotism is within all of us, but we adopt patriotism as per our convenience. To spread this patriotism, the Kejriwal government has started a patriotism curriculum in Delhi schools. Its aim is to widen the scope of adopting patriotism in everyday life. And to end the scattered patriotism in its present form.”
