Chandigarh: From this Independence Day, all schools in Haryana will replace 'Good Morning' with 'Jai Hind'. According to a circular issued on Thursday, the Directorate of School Education's sole objective is to inculcate a sense of patriotism and national pride among students. The term 'Jai Hind' was coined by Subhash Chandra Bose during India's freedom struggle and adopted as a salute by the armed forces after independence, news agency PTI reported.

Directorate of School Education has sent this circular to all District Education Officers, District Primary Education Officers, District Block Education Officers, Block Primary Education Officers, Headmasters and Principals. According to the circular, 'Jai Hind' will replace 'Good Morning' in schools so that students can be “inspired daily by the spirit of national unity” and “respect the country's rich history”. The patriotic greeting 'Jai Hind' will encourage students to appreciate the sacrifices made for the freedom of the country.

'Jai Hind' transcends regional, linguistic and cultural differences and promotes unity among students from diverse backgrounds, it said.

Regular use of greetings like 'Jai Hind' will instill a sense of discipline and unity among the students, the circular said.

It also noted that 'Jai Hind' is applied as a salute by the armed forces, paramilitary forces and police forces whose services are recognized as disciplined.

Incorporating traditional greetings into the daily routine promotes respect for cultural heritage and national traditions, the circular said, reported PTI. “This salutation is inspirational and motivational, reminding students of their potential to contribute to the nation's progress. 'Jai Hind' is a source of inspiration for young Indians encouraging them to contribute positively to the development of India.
