Opposition Criticizes School Screenings of Modi Childhood Film
The government told schools to show a movie called 'Chalo Jeete Hain,' which is about Prime Minister Modi's childhood.
This film aims to teach kids about values like responsibility.
The screenings began around the PM's birthday and will continue for several weeks.
Opposition parties like the Congress and Trinamool Congress disagree, saying it is government propaganda.
They believe schools should focus on real education and job skills, rather than glorifying one person.
The Union government ordered schools to screen 'Chalo Jeete Hain'.
The film is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s childhood.
Screenings are scheduled from September 16 to October 2.
Opposition parties criticize the screenings as propaganda.
The Education Ministry links the directive to its 'Prerana' program.
