Chief Minister Shri Sai, while recalling the days of his childhood in his address, expressed happiness that Sampark Smart School has been started under innovation in his home village Bagia. He told that he received his primary education from first to fifth class in Bagia Primary School. The Chief Minister said that 50 years ago, Bagia School used to be made of khaprail, in which water used to drip during the rainy season and due to the dripping of water, one had to change the place. But today, after 50 years, the entire Bagia School has been transformed and at present a high school is being run here.
He said that in the olden days, one had to cover a long distance to study high school after primary school, but at present, facilities for engineering colleges, medical colleges and national level education are available to provide quality education to children in Chhattisgarh.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that education is the only mantra by which the overall development of a person is possible. Teachers are the builders of our nation, who play an important role in making us a good doctor, engineer, lawyer, scientist and professor. He said that Shri Vineet Nayar, the founding president of Sampark Foundation, has been the CEO of HCL Technologies. He started the Sampark program by taking inspiration from his mother, who was a government school teacher. This program is making valuable contribution in the learning-teaching of children in states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Sampark Foundation is providing Sampark TV device and Maths and English kits to simplify education through games, which are being distributed in 50 schools of our district today. Chief Minister Shri Sai, I am fully confident that these kits will be used extensively in the schools. This will not only remove the hesitation of the children but also make the process of learning and teaching easier. Therefore, all the head readers should understand the method of using these resources well and give opportunities to the children to move forward.
It is noteworthy that this year too, like the previous years, 15 students of Jashpur district have secured a place in the top 10 merit list in the 10th and 12th board exams and have increased the glory of the district in the entire state. 94 percent of class 10th and 94 percent of class 12th students have passed, making Jashpur the district with the highest pass percentage in the state. Along with higher education, the district has also performed excellently at the primary level. By recording results of 99.5 percent in class 5th and 97.3 percent in class 8th, the district has made a special mark at the state level. To ensure the smooth conduct of educational activities in the district, under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Sai, orientation programs are being conducted by the department at the district level for all head readers and principals. Various programs are being organized by tying up with ISRO, IIT and other prestigious institutions to promote scientific thinking. The attendance of teachers and students is being recorded through the app every day. Continuous monitoring of the diary is being done and the rationalization work has been completed to improve the educational system in all the schools of the district. In the same sequence, FLN kits are being distributed through Sampark Foundation for foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) of the students of 50 primary schools of the district, which will prove to be a milestone in improving the educational quality of the district.
