Whatever is being said in the 60 page new education policy, the song has said it, Sisodia said. The song is not just a song, but rather a dream about Delhi, he said. The song talks about why and what the education system of Delhi wants to teach students. Children spend almost 20 years on their education and study from 7 am to 11 am, sometimes even overnight, and the intention behind that has been told through the song, he said.

Our intention is not only to make good schools, 5-star buildings, good services, better results, good jobs, but bigger than that and has been reflected in the lyrics of the song, the minister said.

The song will be sung in schools every morning not as a ritual rather by understanding the issues being talked about in the song to recall the “irada” of going to school, said Sisodia. Manish Sisodia further said that through the new education song, students will learn about cleanliness, stopping caste-based discrimination, and respect to women.
