Ranchi: The students here are also learning Jharkhand’s culture through the Harsh Johar curriculum implemented in many schools of Jharkhand. The state government has started it by focusing on the socio-cultural aspects from class 1 to class 12. This course gives a glimpse of the relevant region and culture of Jharkhand. Folktales, real experiences, field activities have been integrated, making the children relatable.
The curriculum has been innovatively designed to suit the changing times, starting with activities to be happy forever and ending with concepts and expressions. Johar curriculum has been running since the last 2 years in 80 excellent schools of Jharkhand and 60 other schools of 5 districts Chatra, Palamu, East Singhbhum, Giridih and Dumka.
