‘Utkal Bang’ missing from national anthem in 2.5 lakh government books
The word ‘Utkal Bang’ has disappeared from the national anthem of 2.5 lakh government books of UP. The national anthem is written in the class 5 Hindi book, but the word ‘Utkal, Bang’ is not there. The Congress leader has talked of agitating against the BJP by making it an issue.
Congress district president Arun Vidyarthi said, “BJP is unable to forget the pain of Bengal defeat. For this reason he deliberately did not print the name of Utkal and Banga state from the lines of the national anthem. We will launch an agitation on this.” At the same time, as the controversy escalated, BSA Prakash Singh of Kaushambi said, “This is a printing mistake. There is a mistake in the line of the national anthem in the book. This is usually considered to be a print error. But if this has happened in the national anthem, then the information will be given to the officers. It will be investigated. This is a matter of the state level.”
The government has sent these books to the council school of Kaushambi. Talking about Kaushambi district only, there are 1089 council schools. In these, 1 lakh 82 thousand students study from class 1 to 8.
The book in which the wrong national anthem is printed. Her name is “Vatika”. It is taught in class V. The national anthem is written on the last page of this book. In this there is no word Utkal Bang after Punjab-Sindh-Gujarat-Maratha-Dravid… Then the straight 5th line starts from Vindhya-Himachal-Yamuna-Ganga…. This mistake is not in one or two books, but in all the 5th books.
Reality Check of 6 Schools
Kitab Vatika of Hindi was distributed in the Parishad school class-5. A major discrepancy was found in the national anthem at the back of the book. In which Utkal and Banga provinces disappeared. Dainik Bhaskar spoke to 6 school teachers and children. In response, the teachers said that this mistake was made in printing the book. But the Basic Education Officers should have looked into this before the books were distributed.
So far the disclosure has been made in four schools of the state
Books of Utkal and Banga provinces missing from the national anthem have also been distributed in the books of Primary School Hisampur Parsakhi. The children told that they did not know till now that the names of two provinces were missing from their book. When I saw it, I came to know that we sing the national anthem, so remember. That’s why Utkal speaks with a bang. The school teacher says that removing the name of Bengal province from the national anthem means destroying the original spirit of the national anthem.
The children and teachers of primary school Audhan were still unaware that the lines of the national anthem from their textbook were missing from Bang Province. According to the teacher, the same thing happened that the state’s author composed the national anthem. The language in which it was spoken for the first time. By making him disappear, the soul of the national anthem has been taken out. The teacher of primary school Makdoompur said, it is the printer’s mistake. It should not be given that much importance. The department should have got the book checked once before distribution. Children told that they find it difficult to speak the national anthem without 2 provinces. Till now never even thought of national anthem without Bang.
Pramod Printer’s main page printed here
This book called Vatika of Class 5 Hindi was published by Pramod Printer in Mathura. Its details are recorded on the book. When Dainik Bhaskar’s team searched for this printing press, it was found near Moksha Dham located in Masani area of Mathura. Here its owner Pramod Gupta told that only its cover page has been published by him.
Pramod Gupta, the owner of Pramod Printers, told that he did not print the entire book, only the cover page was printed. Pramod Gupta told that this order was given to him not by the Basic Education Department, but by the Hi-Tech printer of Mathura itself. After this the plate came from there, which was printed. After this Dainik Bhaskar’s team reached the Hi-Tech printer. There it is learned that the owner of the printing press is Ram Prakash, who was not at the factory. Tried to know the matter by phone, then a woman picked up the phone. That’s why it didn’t happen.
Stickers being printed with Utkal Bang
To remove the mistake made in the book, now stickers with the word Utkal Bang are being printed. These will be placed where the miss print is. Pramod Gupta, the owner of the printing press, said, it may be that some human error has happened in the hi-tech printers. There was no such purpose for not printing the rest of the word.
Miss print in 2.5 lakh books out of 15 lakh
In Mathura, the department ordered to print 15 lakh books. Out of this, this miss printing has happened in 2.5 lakh books. When I came to know about this mistake. Then it was found that in how many books this mistake happened? Investigation revealed that this miss print happened in 2.5 lakh books. At present, to remove this mistake, the people of the printing press are printing stickers of that word, due to which this ruckus has arisen.
