He added that DPI (Schools) S.K. Setia and some school principals would be associated with for giving practical shape to this child-friendly plan. Children should be imparted intellectual and moral education at the primary school stage with special emphasis on helping them to be confident and good human beings, concerned about community services, development of community, state and the country along with awareness of Indian cultural heritage, the Governor said.
