Art of Story telling plays an important role to connect children with the entire world. In the ancient times story telling was the basic foundation to educate children, wherein teachers used to give examples from the tales to make children understand lessons easily. Moreover tales and stories were narrated by the elders of the houses, which helped children to memorize things permanently. Keeping in account the same, the school education department has given directives to the District Education Officers to include story telling art in the education process of class 1 and 2.
Several suggestions were given by the Union Government to the state governments under the “Padhe Bharat-Badhe Bharat” programme to strengthen knowledge among the children.
