CM Chouhan stressed the importance of establishing respect for labor among the students. He said, “Over the years, the education system has reduced the tendency for work and the sense of respect for labor among our students. The National Education Policy has clear provisions for learning local skills and important vocational crafts. These activities will help in inculcating these values in our students. The task force will be working concertedly towards the achievement of this goal.”

“School Chalo campaign should also be launched for admission in classes 5, 6, 8, and 9. This will reduce the number of dropouts in class 6 and class 9,” he said. He also stressed the need to make education interesting, and activity-based. He said, “It is necessary to make special arrangements for teacher training, use of IT in school education, implementation of the three-language scheme for children, and education for children of migrant families.”

Speaking on this occasion, Sri Ramakrishna Rao, National President, Vidya Bharati suggested for books to be developed keeping in mind the global scenario and local conditions, along with the need for teachers to embrace a positive attitude and become digitally literate. Meanwhile, the National General Secretary of Vidya Bharati, Shri Ram Aravkar said that the Department of Women, Child Development, and School Education must work concertedly towards the development of early childhood care and education. He added that long-forgotten traditional games should be reintroduced in schools to help make education interesting for children.
