Give your full support in building his career. Help in enhancing children’s likes and interests. For the all-round development of children, maintain a balance between the three S’s i.e. study , sports and screen time. Along with this, they should also take out time for sports , with the advent of mobile phones and internet, children are spending more time than necessary , curb this habit of theirs. He inspired the parents of children to narrate inspirational stories of great men like Maharaj Shivaji.
On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Manohar Lal said that we had started the process of opening Government Model Sanskriti Primary School in the state in 2017 with the aim of providing high quality education to the children of the poorest of the poor families from the primary level itself . At that time, a Government Model Sanskriti Primary School (Bag Free School) was opened in each of the 119 blocks of the state . Seeing the success of these schools in providing education, members of school management committees , panchayats. Demands for opening more model culture schools began to arise from educationists and public representatives. We expanded these schools on their demand and today their number has increased to 1,419 . More than 3 lakh students are studying in these schools . This proves that these schools are currently competing tough with private schools.
Education is free in model culture schools
The Chief Minister said that for students whose parents’ annual income is up to Rs 1 lakh 80 thousand , education in Model Culture Schools is free. 65 percent of the students studying in these schools are from poor families. We have started Chirag Yojana to provide education to the children of such families in private schools also. Under this scheme, students from economically weaker families are admitted from class 2 to 12 . The government pays the fees of these children. Under this, so far 2,474 children have been enrolled in recognized private schools. In order to reduce the study pressure on children from class 1 to class 2 in these schools, no homework is given to them. The medium of instruction in these schools has been both English and Hindi. For children who want to get education through English medium , the medium of at least one section in every class is English. The foundation of children’s education can be strengthened at the primary level. This has also been emphasized in the National Education Policy.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has said that ‘ along with bookish knowledge in schools, moral education with values is the main basis of nation building. Taking this thinking forward, the Haryana Government has established Government Model Culture Schools in the state.
He appealed to the parents to take a pledge that they will provide their children with full love , care and education as per the need of the present time. For this, the government is standing with them at every step.
On this occasion, Additional Chief Secretary of School Education Department, Mr. Sudhir Rajpal , Director of Elementary Education Department, Mr. RS Dhillon were also present.
