#OperationKayakalp
Those who have seen/studied in govt Primary Schools of UP would know the pathetic condition of schools few years back.
- Crumbling buildings
- No toilets, drinking water, electricity
- Absent teachers
Things are changing now, pics from a model govt school👇

What all changed in last 4 years?
~ Operation Kayakalp initiated to improve basic facilities in schools
~ facilities upgraded in over 1.39 lakh schools
~ 15-20 model schools developed in each district
~ Total 1000+ model schools developed

Facilities upgraded in these schools like:

~ libraries
~ drinking water
~ playgrounds
~ electricity

Besides above students are also being provided:
~ books
~ school bags
~ shoes
~ socks
~ sweaters
all free of cost.

This is to ensure that children are not deprived of education for the lack of anything.

Infrastructure apart, state government also recruited over 1.25 lakhs teachers for primary schools only.
Previously, many schools were running with only one teacher.
This is changed now thanks to the massive recruitment drive undertaken by Yogi govt.

Results so far indicate that Operation Kayakalp has been a huge success:
~ over 1000 model schools developed
~ over 5000 smart classrooms
~ enrollment rises to over 1.85 crores in 2020-21
~ first time ‘admission closed’ notice was seen at many schools

These changes look very basic in nature. But those who know UP will understand that even these amenities are no less than dream for students.
This shows the dismal performance of previous governments over many decades.
Yogi Govt is determined to change this.

Additionally, special focus is given on imparting Sanskrit education to children:
~ 1151 secondary schools imparting Sanskrit education
~ over 88 thousands students enrolled in these schools

During Covid lock-down government started e-Schools:
~ Mission Prerna YouTube channel launched
~ 67.73 lakhs students benefited from virtual classes
~ virtual classes conducted through TV programs & WhatsApp

This is just the beginning as fixing the basics are most challenging part.
Hoping that transformation continues & Yogi Sarkar is able to further develop these schools according to the expectations of 21st century India.
