260 Schools to Reopen in Four Naxal-Affected Districts | 14 Jun 2022

On June 12, 2022, the Chhattisgarh School Education Department has issued a letter to restart 260 schools in four Naxal-affected districts- Narayanpur, Dantewada, Bijapur and Sukma.

The school education department has directed the collectors of the four districts to organize 'Shala Pravesh Utsav' (School Pravesh Utsav) and 'Thank You Chief Minister's Programme' .
The education department has asked the collectors to ensure 100 per cent admission and regular attendance of children and invite the minister-in-charge of the district, district panchayat president, other public representatives and officials to the programmes.
Earlier, around 400 schools were closed in naxal areas due to various reasons. Based on the community's demand in these districts, the government has decided to reopen 260 schools.
These schools will be formally opened by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on June 16 during the state-level school admission festival.
