"Am reading in the news that some states want to include Narendra Modi's life struggles as a part of their school curriculum. I firmly believe that the life story of living individuals should not be included as a part of the school curriculum," Modi tweeted. "India has a rich history of several stalwarts who made India what it is today. Young minds should read about these greats & emulate them," he said on Twitter.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that lessons on the life of Narendra Modi may be included in the school curriculum with the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh considering such a proposal to "inspire" students.
"We have received suggestions from various quarters that a life-sketch of Modiji be taught in the schools, to inspire students from early age," School Education Minister Paras Jain told PTI.
If incorporated, these lessons would be taught from standard three to standard six," the Minister said. However, he clarified that at present this was only a proposal.
"Like freedom fighters and other leaders of repute, the life of Modi-ji too would inspire the young minds," he said. During the election campaign, several comics on Modi's life were released in various parts of the country.
This follows Rajasthan's declaration to do the same earlier this month.
