Yoga guru Baba Ramdev said that the Union government will soon set up a Vaidik Education Board on the lines of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “in agreement” for the same.

“After yoga kranti (revolution), there is a need for shikshakranti (revolution in education). There is a need for Bharatiyakaran and swadeshikaran(indigenisation) of education. Through a conspiracy, (Thomas Babington)Macaulay destroyed 7,32,000 gurukuls. Now our resolution is to set up, if not 7 lakh, then certainly 700 gurukulam and acharyakulam all over the nation,” said Ramdev.

“The board will be set up on the lines of the CBSE and Sanskrit will be compulsory from nursery to class 12. We will teach Vedas, Upanishads,Ramayana and Mahabharat and the entire Vedic education and Ayurveda. The coursework will be modern but will be indigenised,” he added.
