MYSURU: BC Nagesh, primary and secondary education minister said moral science will be introduced in schools from the next academic year which begins in May, and lessons from Bhagavad Gita and Panchatantra stories will be part of the syllabus.
A final decision on which class to introduce the subject will be taken soon, he said. Experts are divided over teaching the Bhagavad Gita to students, as they fear it will affect the secular character of the education system.
