Haryana Government Asks Schools To Replace ‘Good Morning’ With ‘Jai Hind’ From Independence Day 2024

Chandigarh, August 10: In a bid to foster patriotism and national pride among students, the Haryana government has issued a directive to replace the traditional greeting of “good morning” with “Jai Hind” starting this Independence Day 2024. The circular by the Directorate of School Education, distributed to all district and block education officers, principals, and headmasters, aims to inspire students daily with the spirit of national unity and respect for India’s rich history.

The directive, which applies to Haryana’s 14,300 government schools and an estimated 7,000 private schools, highlights that “Jai Hind” was coined by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose during India’s freedom struggle and later adopted by the armed forces as a salute post-independence. The circular emphasises that this patriotic greeting will help students appreciate the sacrifices made for the country’s freedom. Vinesh Phogat to Get Honour, Rewards and Facilities Given to Olympic Silver Medallist; Announces Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini.

By transcending regional, linguistic, and cultural differences, “Jai Hind” is expected to promote unity among students from diverse backgrounds. The regular use of this greeting is also intended to instil a sense of discipline and uniformity while promoting cultural heritage and respect for national traditions. Nayab Singh Saini Felicitates 113 Candidates Who Cleared Haryana Civil Services Exam (See Pics)
