Prime Minister Narendra Modi gently declined the idea of including a chapter on him in school textbooks - being considered by certain states - by stating that the school curriculum should, instead, include lessons on the many stalwarts who have contributed to making the India of today.

Justifying his realistic stand, the Prime Minister said that he firmly believed that the life story of living individuals should not be included as a part of the school curriculum.

The humble self that he is, Shri Modi urged the authorities to include other stalwarts so that the young minds could read about these great people and emulate them.
