| At his closed-door meetings, Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has over the past few weeks frowned at the large number of holidays in the state. Government employees in the state get 40 holidays, more than twice the number allowed elsewhere in the country. Add up the number of weekends and other leaves that an official is entitled to, and it turns out that a state government employee can stay home almost every second day.
On Friday, Chief Minister Adityanath started with the schools.
"There should be no holidays in schools on birth anniversaries of great personalities. Instead special two-hour programme should be held to teach students about them," Mr Adityanath said.
If the idea was to perpetuate the memory of the great personalities, the Chief Minister said, children should be motivated on these days to learn about the personalities and their contribution for the country.
"There will be no discrimination and injustice in this government rule," he said at a function to mark the 126th birth anniversary of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar that was first declared a holiday nationwide by the Centre after a sustained campaign by the Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshi Ram back in the nineties
