celebs, but

are increasingly ill informed about their own historical personalities.

This

essay shall analyse why

suggest some measures, to generate their

and major reason for

this

is that the education system in most of the countries is test-based. Students are only taught to get good grades and

as a result

, they only focus on passing their exams, rather than gaining knowledge about any topic. Their

interest

is never developed in

Furthermore

, most of the families have now started living in nuclear setups, where both the parents are working, and because of

has taken a back seat. There are many methods that can be used by parents, schools and the media to develop the

interest

of youngsters in knowing about the famous people from

history

. The schools can incorporate technology in teaching methods, like the use of audio-visual aids. Educational trips to museums and famous historical places

also

help develop the children’s

interest

. The government should set up museums and encourage children to visit them by highly subsidizing tickets for the students.

For example

, the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Museum has become a great source of information about the freedom struggle and the sacrifices made by

Also

, the Virasat-e-Khalsa museum has become very popular among the

youth

as they can learn a lot about Sikh

history

and culture.

Moreover

, TV shows and movies can be made around famous historical personalities and their contributions.

also

has a big role to play in spreading

this

awareness.
