‘Jai Hind’ to replace ‘good morning’

From the coming Independence Day, daily greetings in Haryana schools will acquire a patriotic flavour. Instead of “Good Morning”, students will greet each other and their teachers with “Jai Hind.” The directorate of school education has issued instructions to all education officers at district and block levels, principals and headmasters to replace “Good Morning” with “Jai Hind” from Aug 15. State govt has decided to replace the greeting to “inculcate a deep sense of patriotism and national pride” in students. “Before the hoisting of the national flag on Independence Day, the instructions should be implemented,” the department emphasised, adding that greeting each other with “Jai Hind” will ensure “the students are inspired every day with the spirit of national unity & respect for the rich history of our country”.
