North Delhi Mayor Avtar Singh on Friday directed officials to ensure that photographs of President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi be mounted in all NDMC-run schools by August 15.
In a letter issued by his office, he said, the step was being taken to inculcate a greater sense of nationalism among the children.
"The idea is to build awareness among the young students and ingrain in their minds a greater sense of patriotism and nationalism," Singh said.
Asked if the direction was binding on schools and to be compulsorily implemented, he said, "I have only take a decision in good faith and expect people to follow it, but it is not compulsory."
