Other education initiatives in UP

UP CM Yogi Adityanath recently launched ‘School Chalo Abhiyaan’ which focuses on ensuring 100% enrollment of students in primary schools and eradicating all the challenges that students face in government schools. “We have to give special emphasis on basic education. The campaign is being launched after two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It may happen that the children, who did not go to school, might be feeling lazy to return. But we have to ensure that no child is left out and all should be admitted to schools,"  PTI quoted UP CM Yogi Adityanath 

The ‘School Chalo Abhiyan’ is being implemented in Shravasti, which has the lowest literacy rate in the state. Other districts with low literacy rate are Bahraich, Balrampur, Badaun, and Rampur. Under this initiative, students will receive uniforms, shoes, and socks. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told officials that not only will public representatives be involved with the ‘School Chalo Abhiyan,’ but that MLAs must also adopt a school each.
