Building on an earlier directive released on November 7, the board in its fresh circular dated December 1 detailing month-wise activities till November 2026, said the initiative is expected to “deepen the emotional and historical connect of students and teachers with this iconic national legacy”.

In its November circular, CBSE urged affiliated schools to organise mass singing of Vande Mataram and hold “Vande Mataram Concerts” on November 7, marking the day the national song was written by Bankim Chandra Chatterji in 1875.

CBSE's latest circular outlines a detailed month-wise action plan for activities to celebrate 150 years of Vande Mataram.
