CBSE schools to integrate art & culture into curriculum
1 2 Ranchi : Schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) are gearing up for creative academic projects as the board has made art integrated projects compulsory for all students enrolled in Classes I to X, starting from the 2025–26 academic session. The initiative, aligned with the goals of the New Education Policy (NEP), aims to blend academic learning with art forms to foster experiential and interdisciplinary education. The guidelines mandate that every student should prepare creative projects by linking any academic subject such as Science, Mathematics, English, or Hindi with an Indian art form. The initiative is also a part of the 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' programme, under which each state is paired with another to promote cross-cultural understanding. Jharkhand has been paired with Telangana, and students from Jharkhand are expected to develop their projects based on the art and cultural heritage of Telangana. The board stated that students of Class X will not be issued their admit cards unless they complete and upload the project. The project must be environment-friendly in design and execution. All schools are required to submit the projects on CBSE's online platform Principal of Delhi Public School, Jaya Chauhan, said, "The move is aimed at enhancing cultural awareness and enriching subject comprehension through artistic expression. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo We have developed various thematic subjects and are currently working on project collaboration with DPS schools in Telangana.
