Vande Mataram to Be Sung Before Jana Gana Mana: Centre Issues Orders

The Central Government has issued new directives stating that Vande Mataram must be sung before the National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, at all government functions and in educational institutions. The Ministry of Home Affairs implemented the revised guidelines on Wednesday, making it mandatory to follow this order during official events.

According to the instructions, all attendees must stand while Vande Mataram is being rendered, similar to the protocol observed during the National Anthem. The move is aimed at standardizing the conduct of patriotic observances across government programs and schools nationwide.
