New Delhi: A national-level competition to create awareness on Baba Banda Singh Bahadur will be conducted by CBSE soon. This was announced by HRD minister Smriti Irani at the inauguration of Guru Angad Dev Teaching Learning Centre at SGTB Khalsa College, Delhi University on Friday.

Named after the second Sikh Guru, the centre has been created under MHRD's Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Training. Irani said that as today's generation is “techno savvy“, the centre will help teachers develop their technical skills.

Irani's visit, which was delayed by over an hour, was also marked by protests by DU teachers against the new UGC norms in front of the college gates. Many teachers were detained by police.

Many parents expressed their unhappiness at the teachers saying they should have helped in the admission process. “How can they expect us to support them when they are creating problems during admission,“ said a DU aspirant at Khalsa College.
