This year the feat also included reciting slokas from Bhagavad Gita. For the students under 7 years of age should have to recite slokas from two chapters to get Gita Bala award. Students of any age group can recite slokas from five chapters to get Gita Chari award, 10 chapters for Gita Gnananda award and all 700 slokas from 18 chapters to receive Gita Sagara award.
Among them five students have received Gita Sagara award, said Bhaskar Raju. Those five students who are under 11 years of age are ready to write 10th class examinations in March 2019 for which a special permission from the government will be required.
They have been trained in writing 10th exams in March 2018 practically with the question papers given by the board.
