Akhilesh Yadav slams Yogi Govt for alleged voter suppression in UP bye-elections
Yadav warned that a new and troubling form of democracy was emerging in Uttar Pradesh under the BJP rule.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday emphasised that significant efforts were undertaken to promote educational equality within the state, and highlighted its pivotal role in reducing social disparities.
During the Question Hour in the UP Legislative Council, the Chief Minister said there have been concerted efforts in the past seven years to improve the education system in UP. “Under the Operation Kayakalp, efforts have been made to improve the infrastructure of 1,32,000 schools in the Basic Education Council. Over 40 lakh new students have enrolled in government schools in the state,” he informed.
CM Adityanath further elaborated, stating, “All students are receiving bags, books, shoes, socks, and sweaters. Furthermore, there is an effort to implement the NCERT syllabus phase-wise in the UP Board. With the Basic Education Council offering the same curriculum, there’s no longer a necessity to send our children to private schools.”

Additionally, he mentioned that the ‘School Chalo Abhiyan’ is conducted in April and July. The increase of 40 lakh children in the schools of the Basic Education Department of the state shows that the efforts made by the government were yielding results and the objective of RTE was being fulfilled.
In response to another question, the Chief Minister said the government provides Rs 1200 to the bank account of each student’s guardian for bags, books, shoes, socks, and sweaters.
