The Delhi education department informed that there will be one patriotic period every day for class nursery to 8 and once a week for classes 9 to 12 after offline classes completely resume in the capital.

In order to train the nodal teachers, an orientation programme is to be organized by NCERT for all these nodal teachers from September 29 to October 5, in which they will be trained on how the feeling of patriotism can be inculcated in the children.

During these patriotic classes, students will begin the period with the meditation of five minutes and will be asked to remember any five freedom fighters to pay their gratitude towards them.
