The stern circular, which has been accessed by IANS, ordering all schools and colleges to celebrate Valentines Day as Mother's Day has kicked up a raging controversy in academic circles.

It was sent to hundreds of public and private primary schools and around 25 colleges in the district Feb 11, asking them to celebrate V-Day with a difference by dedicating it to mothers.

All educational institutions were also directed to make the students sing a well-known poem dedicated to mothers "Hambrun Vasar Aale Chaat-ti Jawa Gai..."

They were further instructed to immortalize the new style of V-Day celebrations by clicking photographs and submitting them to the district education Officer.
