In addition, five schools of the Bharti Foundation in Punjab, schools under the jurisdiction of the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi and Delhi Public Schools across the country are starting the course, it said.

According to NSE, more schools are expected to follow soon and the training of teachers has started from this month.
