Saharsh curriculum aims to free students from study pressure: CM

Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Wednesday said that the Saharsh curriculum has been launched in the state to keep children free from the pressure of studies, and that NCERT and SCERT have jointly started this program.
“The North East's first Saharsh curriculum has been started in Tripura. Its main objective is to provide quality education to children in a joyful environment, apart from textbook dependence,” he said.
Dr Saha, who holds Education portfolio, said this while inaugurating the Saharsh Utsav 2025 organized at Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan in Agartala on Wednesday.
At the event, Dr Saha said, Saharsh means learning with joy, finding oneself in happiness.
“Increasing the enthusiasm of children towards school and studies is one of the goals of the Saharsh program. Students will benefit greatly from this. We have never heard of such a curriculum before. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the National Education Policy 2020 to keep students free from various pressures related to studies. The National Education Policy has also been implemented in the state. The Saharsh curriculum, prepared for Classes I to VIII in the state with the aim of successful implementation of the National Education Policy, has already gained wide popularity among students. The Saharsh curriculum is an activity beyond the general curriculum,” he said.
Dr Saha said that not only textbook-based education, but the Saharsh curriculum will also play a very important role in developing patriotic, fearless, humane, compassionate, conscious, intellectually capable, and socially responsible citizens for the future in a joyful environment.
“This program was started for the first time in the state in 2023. It is also the first of its kind in the North East India. This curriculum was prepared through the joint efforts of teachers, trainers, and educationists, keeping in mind the National Education Policy. Tripura is now being considered a front-runner state in all aspects,” he said.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also given special importance to providing quality education.
“The foundation of children in the field of education must be strengthened. Otherwise, there will be a reluctance to study. Education must be embedded in the mind with joy so that children can think innovatively for the country in the future. The talent within children must be developed,” he added.
Special Secretary to the Education department, Ravel Hemendra Kumar, Director of Education N.C. Sharma, Director of SCERT L. Darlong, United Nations Young Leader Richa Gupta of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and other senior officials of the Education Department were present as distinguished guests at the event. Around 400 schools participated in this event virtually.
