Students in schools across Maharashtra will have to compulsorily read out the preamble to the constitution during their morning assemblies from January 26, School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad said on Tuesday. Reading of the preamble is the part of the "sovereignty of constitution, welfare of all" campaign, a state government circular said. "Students will recite the preamble to the constitution every day after morning prayers so that they understand its importance. It is an old government resolution, but we will implement it from January 26," the minister, who belongs to the Congress, told reporters in Mumbai.
