Delhi schools to teach city’s art, culture and history beyond Mughal, British rule

A video released by local authorities shows that Delhi’s school system will introduce a dedicated module on the capital’s art, culture and history that goes beyond the well‑known Mughal and British eras. The material is planned to be incorporated into the regular curriculum for primary and secondary students, allowing them to explore lesser‑known aspects of Delhi’s heritage.

The program aims to broaden pupils’ understanding of the city’s diverse cultural legacy, including indigenous art forms, regional festivals and historic sites that pre‑date colonial influence. Educational experts involved in the project say the initiative will foster a deeper connection between young learners and their urban environment.

Implementation is expected to begin in the upcoming academic session, with teachers receiving specialised training and resource kits. Officials hope that the added focus on local history will encourage students to appreciate Delhi’s multifaceted past and preserve its cultural identity for future generations.
