Raipur: Chhattisgarh Government has launched the ‘Mukhyamantri School Jatan Yojana’ to enhance the quality of infrastructure in schools across the state. This scheme, initiated under the guidance of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, aims to create a better learning environment for children by developing and renovating school buildings.
As part of the scheme, as many as 1914 school buildings have already been renovated in the state. The renovation work includes roof repairs, wall painting, toilet refurbishment, and overall beautification. The use of natural cow dung paint for painting the school buildings has made them visually attractive and appealing. The completion of renovation work has completely transformed the appearance of these schools, providing a conducive and safe environment for students to study. Earlier, the school buildings were in a dilapidated condition with water dripping from the roof during the rainy season, but now they have been thoroughly restored due to roof repairs. As a result, children will now feel secure and comfortable while studying.
The scheme covers 29,162 registered schools, with an approximate cost of 2133.60 crores for renovating these educational institutions. Currently, the first installment of Rs. 477.06 crores has been released to the districts to commence the renovation work. As of today, 1914 projects have been completed, and work is still in progress for over 14,000 schools.
Through the Mukhyamantri School Jatan Yojana, children in Chhattisgarh will benefit from improved school buildings, providing them with a better learning experience.
