Lucknow, April 4: The Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Council has decided to make web series on the lives of great personalities of India for the children studying in primary schools so as to sensitize the young generation about the ideals of these personalities.
“District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) has prepared a web series of 50 episodes on various personalities including freedom fighters, scientists, singers, politicians. This will be shown to the children under the ‘Prena Mission’ so that they may imbibe their ideals to achieve a better place in life,” the government spokesman said here on Sunday.
