CHATROO (KISHTWAR), Nov 17: Senior Congress Leader and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohd Saroori today called for a change in the present education system with emphasis on introducing moral education subject from the primary level for overall development of the child.
Addressing a galaxy of audience after inauguration of Green Land Public School at tehsil Chatroo, here today, Saroori said that in absence of moral education in the schools, the younger generation was distancing from the basic fundamentals of life and just focusing on the value added education.
The MLA said that district Kishtwar once used to be the guiding force in the spirituality and moral education to other districts of the State. But, during the past two to three decades, the moral values have eroded gradually and society has been confronting with many challenges on account of social evils, crimes against the women, drug addiction, dowry deaths and other anti-social issues, he lamented.
The need of the hour is to promote the moral ethics and rich heritage to revive the old traditions, which strengthen bonds of mutual brotherhood and patriotism, especially to save the younger generation, Saroori asserted.
