Bengaluru, Apr 30: The department of school education and literacy has issued an important circular strictly prohibiting students from dancing to obscene songs during cultural programmes and annual day celebrations in schools and colleges.

The circular stated that obscene songs can have a negative impact on the mental health of students. It also noted that such content may lead to indiscipline and damage the dignity of educational institutions.

The department has directed all government, aided, and unaided schools across the state to create awareness and take strict measures to prevent children from performing dances to obscene songs.

It has also warned that action will be taken against the head teachers and management of any school found encouraging students to dance to such songs.

As an alternative, the education department has advised teachers to select songs that promote inspiration, patriotism, moral values, respect, and brotherhood.
