NCERT Class 9 Textbook Highlights Gandhi's 'Ram Rajya' as Model of Good Governance
A new NCERT Class 9 social science textbook presents Mahatma Gandhi's vision of 'Ram Rajya' as an ideal governance model rooted in probity, transparency, compassion, welfare, and people-centric policies. Drawing from Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, the book emphasizes governance as a sacred responsibility focused on societal well-being. It also highlights the cultural significance of the Sengol sceptre, ceremoniously placed in the Lok Sabha in 2023, linking traditional values with contemporary governance ideals.
