Team Gujarat in Schools to score 100% enrollment in primary schools

 

Shri Narendra Modi speaking earlier today on the commencement of Shala Praveshotsav and Kanya Kelavani Nidhi 2012 through video conference.

Dear Friends,

Many people have often asked me, “the Government has so many programmes but which one of them is your favourite?” While I consider each and every government programme a golden opportunity to serve the 6 crore people of Gujarat, I must admit that the Shala Praveshotsav and Kanya Kelavani Abhiyan hold a very special place in my heart. More memorable than the day I got the opportunity to serve the people of Gujarat as their Chief Minister are those days when I have the good fortune of taking a little toddler to school! It is a matter of immense joy to see these tiny toddlers, who are the future of our nation take their first little steps to school. 

Revolutionizing Gujarat’s education sector: Snapshot of the last decade

 

The Shala Praveshotsav is aimed at ensuring a hundred percent enrollment in primary schools, the Kanya Kelavani Abhiyan spells out our determination to give an impetus to educating the girl child. Be it the classroom or the sports field, it is extremely delightful to see girl students emerging on top!

In the month of June every year, when we heave a sigh of relief from the scorching summer heat, the entire ‘Team Gujarat’ right from myself, my Ministerial colleagues, senior bureaucrats to other officials go out and request parents to send their little children to school. Today, we commence the 3-day campaign in the villages while it will be held in the urban areas towards the end of the month.

Earlier, I often noticed that few people would remember their very first day at school and nor would anything special happen on that day. Now, I am glad that as these children go to school on their first day, not only their parents but also the entire state of Gujarat will watch them make their first strides. When a little child is taken to school by an IPS officer in uniform or by a Minister of the state, can you imagine the image it will leave in his or her mind? Rest assured, this will be a day that no child will forget during his entire life!

This year’s campaign will cover as many as 34,000 government primary schools. For the first time, the Government will add interest on Rs.1, 000 bond distributed to girl students on admission to Standard-1 which on maturity after passing Standard-7 becomes Rs.2,000. In addition 48,000 bicycles will be given and toys will be distributed to Anganwadi children. Almost 10,595 new classrooms will be dedicated while ground-breaking ceremonies will be performed for 26,000 structures.

These initiatives are a part of our larger mission of enhancing our Human Resource Development potential and for that we must start from the basic levels and this is where primary education assumes paramount importance.

I urge you to extend your support to our initiatives so that no child is left behind from this golden opportunity that will open several avenues in the years to come.

 

Yours,

Narendra Modi

 

Auctioning the gifts received for the noble cause of educating the girls child.

 

Shala Praveshotsav & Kanya Kelavani Rath Yatra.

  • Bhavin July 21, 2012 Hello Sir,
    I would like to share something with you which I have observed in last few years.
    The main reason why common man is hesitating in fighting with corruption is lack of knowledge of law. Indians are smart at Science/Maths/Economics, but very few knows law. If everyone learns at least basic concepts of Indian Law from primary/secondary school itself, next generation would use their energy/time for leading the world in the field of technology and not in the direction of how to fight with corruption.
  • Neha Raval July 7, 2012 This is indeed a nice initiative and would also like to know the progress part too.In india,its noticed plans have ben incorporated but succeding them and movin with them on long term basis is a main Crisis???????

  • Vineetha Menon June 17, 2012 Namaste Modiji,

    Read the entire article with so much of happiness…. infact read a few write ups too related to the same on Friday, as we prepared a small news piece for our website.

    A few days back, there was an extremely disgusting and horrifying report in a northern state of the country, where children were abused…. that left me badly jolted too for quite a long time. But then my mind was set right after reading these lovely reports of education drive in the state of Gujarat initiated by you. Wished, as i do every day, that the entire nation came under your protective wing….. things would be so much better for every citizen.

    Saw a picture of you with two tiny little ones, taking steps with them in their school venture… realized how specially blessed those tiny tots are, just the way i am too ….

    Again, again and again…. our prayers are with you… waiting for you to lead the nation….

    Saadar Pranaams to my Guru,
    Shubham,
    Vineetha
  • Janardhan Rao Maddu June 16, 2012 I salute you for this initiative.When other states will follow
