With the upcoming academic session starting on April 1, the Madhya Pradesh government plans to kick off a state-wide ‘School Chale Hum’ campaign, scheduled to run until April 4. The School Education Department has outlined a comprehensive program involving Ministers and public representatives to spearhead the campaign across districts. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will officially inaugurate the campaign in Bhopal on April 1, with notifications already dispatched to district collectors and education officers.
Special focus will be placed on boosting student enrollments in the state’s approximately 92,000 government schools, catering to nearly 8.5 million students. The campaign will see Ministers participating in ‘Praveshotsav’ events at selected schools on the district level, with the attendance of MPs, MLAs, and other public figures. Efforts will also be made to enroll out-of-school children from villages and habitations into nearby government schools.
As part of the campaign activities, schools will host ‘Bhavishya Se Bhet’ on the second day, inviting accomplished individuals from various fields to engage with students as motivational speakers. Notable personalities like sportspersons, writers, artists, media professionals, and government officials will interact with students, aiming to inspire and encourage them. District collectors are tasked with ensuring that Class I and II officers visit schools to engage with students during class time.
Furthermore, cultural and sports events will be conducted at schools to involve parents and strengthen their bond with the educational institutions. The school’s academic staff will also brief parents on government educational schemes. Additionally, parents of students with over 85% attendance in the previous academic year will be recognized during the event. Efforts will be made to identify students facing challenges in progressing to the next class, with parents receiving guidance on supporting their children’s education and helping them overcome obstacles.
