UP Board Syllabus to Include 50 Great Personalities in India

The UP Board syllabus for the upcoming academic session has been slightly modified by the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad. Students will be learning about life and the achievements of 50 great personalities in India. The board authorities will include the biographies of prominent figures in India in the curriculum for classes 9th to 12th. However, Jawaharlal Nehru is not included in the list of prominent figures. This change has been made as a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra, which was released in the 2022 Legislative Assembly Elections. There was a prolonged procedure that was taken into account by the UP Board authorities to finalize the people who will be included in the list of prominent figures.
