"For the benefit of the children, we have called for announcements by religious places in the morning and asked to wake up the children for studies. There is nothing wrong in this. It is said that getting up early in the morning to study sharpens the mind. It is our effort. Those who wake up early in the morning benefit in terms of health and education. If society and parents cooperate in this effort, children will surely study well," said Kanwar Pal Gujjar. The Haryana Minister said further decisions would be taken after seeing the results.
