Days after Peace International School came under the Kerala Police scanner for including non-secular syllabus in textbooks, another Kerala school is under fire for its rules.

Students at Chinmaya Vidyala have been asked to greet their teachers or higher authorities by saying 'Hari Om' with folded hands.

As per the rule, the students must follow this practice when they greet their teacher in the morning. The rule is listed on the school's website.

When India Today contacted the school, Principal Pratibha confirmed that such practice is in place. "Yes that is on the website. It is part of Chinmaya's culture. We expect our students to follow the same," she said.

The principal said that the school does not compel the same although the website states that the rules must be strictly followed.
