The State education Act to curtail the powers of the Minority Educational institutions to appoint the teachers. There is a clash between the Commission and the Government of West Bengal. So, by this amendment it is curtailing the powers of the States. I cannot say that the West Bengal Government is not favouring the minorities. But I do not know as to why they are opposing. Because it is curtailing the powers of the States. Education is a State subject. This amendment will just create a pandamonion and States will oppose all these things and the entire interest will not be solved. So, I hope the the hon. Minister will see that the minority students will get better scope in this institution where you are giving No Objection Certificate and in this way their educational standards will also increase. The standards of the Madrasas educational institutions will increase as they should be equipped to cope with other sections of the society. Sir, I rise to support this Bill. During the last 60 years of our Independence, this is the only piece of legislation that was made subsequent to Article 30 which is a Fundamental Right. Sir, the hon. Minister in his introductory remarks talked about Article 30. He quoted about the T.M.A. Pai Judgement also. I would like to point out here that Article 30, which is a fundamental right, has been diluted by the hon. Supreme Court in its various judgements whether it is the TMA Pai judgement or the Namdar judgement. It is very unfortunate that the Commission has never bothered to go to the Supreme Court or even this Government has never bothered to ensure that Article 30 remains a fundamental right. It remains a fundamental right only a paper. But If you aread the subsequent Supreme Court judgements for the last six years. We are also organising compeitions across sporting disciplines for the players to have maximum match-day exposure. For example, we are conducting dedicated Khelo India Women's Leagues across nine disciplines hockey, archery, weighlifting cycling boxing, swimming, wrestling, volleyball and judo. Through these leagues, more than 23,000 women athletes will participate in these competitions. So, our aim is to make India a sporting powerhouse in the world and our youngsters will be the ones who will excel. When we talk about the promotion of sports, should we talk about the promotion of sports at the basic level? How can we get more Indian children to play? Does the government have plans to make sports an intergral part of all school curricula? Culturally, we must engage with physical activity at a very daily life. The FIT India movement, aimed at being a peopl's movement, has proved to be crucial in building strong awareness about the importance of staying fit and active. The National Education Policy 2020 has emphasised the importance of sports and physical activity as a vital part of our education systems. Structural changes are in the pipeline to ensure sports-integrated learning will be undertaken in classroom to help children develop a fitness aptitude and improved physical literacy. Its implementation by State Governments could prove to be a turning point not only for our education system but also for the sports India.
