Tripura Mandates Full Rendition of National Anthems in School Assemblies

The state of Tripura has introduced a new policy requiring the complete rendition of the national anthems ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Jana Gana Mana’ in all school assemblies. The directive, issued by the Department of Education, aims to reinforce patriotic values among students.

Under the new rule, every school gathering must include a full performance of both anthems, replacing any abbreviated or selective versions that were previously permitted. The policy applies to all primary, middle, and secondary schools across the state.

Education officials have stated that the change will be implemented from the upcoming academic year, with teachers receiving guidance on how to incorporate the full anthems into their assembly routines. The government has not yet released a detailed timetable for the rollout, but it emphasizes the importance of fostering national pride among the younger generation.
