Govt school teachers to attend vipassana course

Written By Unknown on Senin, 13 April 2015 | 22.10

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Government has decided to send its school teachers for a 10-day residential vipassana course. It will be voluntary to begin with -- those interested can apply -- and will be conducted by an organisation in Sohna, Haryana. The 10 days will be during the summer vacation to ensure there's no interruption of course work. For teachers, these 10 days will be treated as work ones.

"We have invited names of teachers and whoever is interested can get trained," says Padmini Singla, director, education. There's no cap on the number of seats yet. "The organisation is Vipassana Sadhana Sansthan in Sohna, Haryana. They hold these shivirs (camps) twice a month." This is part of the value education programme the AAP government has been emphasising on. "The entire thinking is in that direction. The idea is to build a sound value system and these are steps toward that," she adds.

When these teachers return from vipassana -- a form of meditation that requires maintaing long hours of silence and even disengagement from technology -- they will, in turn, become trainers for their schools. Delhi's government schools already have positions for yoga teachers. Singla says that while yoga teachers may be more interested, this is open to every one.

"Government school teachers will be sent for vipassana on the government's expense. This is preparation for training the students in the schools. Vipassana will help them in personality development and stress-management," says education minister, Manish Sisodia.

Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is a regular practitioner of this form of meditation.
