Lessons on the life of Narendra Modi may be included in the school curriculum with the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Madhya Pradesh considering such a proposal to "inspire" students.

"We have received suggestions from various quarters that a life-sketch of Modiji be taught in the schools, to inspire students from early age," School Education Minister Paras Jain said.

Modi, who led BJP to a mammoth victory in the Lok Sabha polls, will take oath as the prime minister on Monday.

“If incorporated, these lessons would be taught from standard three to standard six,” the minister said.

However, he clarified that at present this was only a proposal.

"Like freedom fighters and other leaders of repute, the life of Modi-ji too would inspire the young minds," he said.

During the election campaign, several comics on Modi's life were released in various parts of the country.
