Lakhimpur Kheri, 26 May (HS): On Monday, the live streaming of inauguration

ceremony of important programs of the Basic Education Department by the Chief

Minister was seen and heard in the Atal Auditorium located in the Collectorate.

The program was inaugurated by the Minister in charge of the district, Nitin

Agarwal, by lighting a lamp along with MLA Yogesh Verma, Vinod Shankar Awasthi,

DM Durga Shakti Nagpal and CDO Abhishek Kumar.

In the presence of DM Durga Shakti Nagpal and other public

representatives, the Minister-in-Charge honored five teachers by giving them

tablets and the headmasters of two Nipun Vidyalayas by giving them certificates.

By distributing stationery kits to the students of Kasturba Vidyalay and

special educational kits to the Divyang children, a strong message of inclusion

and technical support in education was given. The rangoli made by the students

of the council school was the center of attraction. At the same time, the

cultural program presented by a student captivated everyone.

Addressing the program, Minister-in-charge Nitin Agarwal said

that the picture of changing Uttar Pradesh is clearly visible in our council

schools today. The schools which were once associated with lack of facilities,

today the same schools are becoming symbols of innovation, inclusion and

quality. The government decided that every child should study with dignity.

Therefore, an amount of Rs. 1200 for dress, books, shoes, socks and bags is

being sent directly to the accounts of parents. This is not just an amount, but

a symbol of faith that no child should be deprived of education just due to

lack of resources. There is a huge difference between the situation eight years

ago and today. Now parents are taking their children out of private schools and

getting them admitted in government schools. With programs like Operation

Kayakalp, Chief Minister Composite School and Nipun Aasman, Uttar Pradesh is

creating a new history in the field of education.

Minister-in-charge praised the DM, said, 'Mission Maidan' is

changing the future of children: Minister-in-charge praised the innovative

initiative 'Mission Maidan' of Lakhimpur Kheri DM Durga Shakti Nagpal and said

that this initiative has proved that when education is woven with sports,

health and discipline, not only academic achievement but overall development of

children is ensured. 'Mission Maidan' has taken Lakhimpur ahead in the race of

excellence and now this role model will also be implemented in districts like

Hardoi, so that the entire Uttar Pradesh can be empowered with this new

dimension of education.

BSA Praveen Kumar Tiwari said that the total number of

enrollments in council schools in Lakhimpur Kheri district so far is 4,02,678.

Out of these, an amount of Rs 1200 each has been sent to the accounts of the

parents of 2,55,806 children. Data of 1,00,680 students has been sent for the

next phase.

Teachers gifted digital tools, honored accomplished heroes,

inclusive resources to handicapped students: Minister-in-charge Nitin Agarwal,

along with the officials and public representatives present, presented tablets

to teachers Vimal Mishra, Sumit Verma, Ashish Shrivastava, Sanjeev Rastogi and

Santosh Sharma. Pramod Kumar Verma of Pra. Vidyalaya Ratasia and Ritu Awasthi

of Prathmik Vidyalaya Rajapur were honored with Nipun Vidyalaya certificates.

An inspiring example of technology and inclusion in education was presented by

giving stationery kits to the girl students of Kasturba Gandhi Residential

Girls School, Rajapur and low vision, Braille and home-based kits to

handicapped children.
