of young students by including human values like truth, religion and love
propounded by Shree Satya Sai Baba in their text books.Inaugurating the
training programme organised by Jems Graded English School, the Minister for
Information and Communication, Tanka Dhakal said the conflict situation will
come to an end if we could perceive religious knowledge and science from the
same standpoint. Noting that society has bogged down in evil because of lack of
moral values among political parties, he said the government will give top
priority to the recommendation for inclusion of human values in the curriculum
of the students.On the occasion, chief of the Satya Sai Study Center in
Thailand, Dr. Art Ong Jumsai said that he had been spreading the education of
human civilisation
based on moral values in different parts of the world.He observed that such
education would help resolve misunderstanding between teachers and students as

whole.Highlighting the objective of the training, Vice president of the Satya
Sai, Nepal Dr. Narottam Upadhyaya said the training was organised to educate
