Schools are the biggest secular centres of our State. When deliberate attempts to endanger secularism are made by various centres, conscious interventions to safeguard it should be made, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the State-level Praveshanolsavam at Government Higher Secondary School, Kazhakuttam, here on Wednesday.
The Chief Minister said public schools had played a huge role in promoting secularism in the State. Caste, religion or nothing else separated children. They studied together and played together. People of all religions and castes worked together in schools like in the same family, he said.
