Uttar Pradesh Government launches 'Learning by Doing' program to enhance practical skills in schools
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday launched a 'Learning by Doing' programme to redefine education in government schools across the state, according to a statement. "In line with the National Education Policy 2020, this programme provides students from classes 6 to 8 with practical training in diverse fields such as woodwork, metalwork, energy and environment, agriculture and horticulture, and health and nutrition," the statement said. The initiative, under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, reflects Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision of linking education with employability and life skills, it added. Adityanath has consistently emphasised making Uttar Pradesh self-reliant and empowered, which requires integrating skills into the education system. "Acting on this vision, the Basic Education Department has provided four-day multi-skilling training to science and mathematics teachers, enabling them to prepare students for real-life challenges alongside academics," the statement said. Additionally, with technical support from UNICEF and Vigyan Ashram, the state has developed a teacher manual with 60 skill-based activities, which has been approved by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), it added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 코인 투자금 300만원 있다면 '이렇게'해라 나스닥터 더 알아보기 Undo The government noted that in 2024-25, the programme would expand with the establishment of modern Learning by Doing (LBD) labs in 2,274 upper primary and composite schools across all 75 districts of the state. Each lab is equipped with 205 types of modern tools and apparatus. School Management Committees (SMCs) have been provided with consumables and raw materials to support these activities, it said. Earlier, the pilot phase of the programme was implemented in 60 schools across 15 districts, training 5,937 students in various trades. The government said the initiative led to a noticeable increase in student attendance and interest in learning. The government said it is working to expand this innovative programme to another 3,288 schools in the academic year 2025-26 under the Samagra Shiksha and PM SHRI schemes. "This expansion will provide vocational education benefits to lakhs of students across the state," it added. The government said that the programme not only equips students with new skills but also instils respect for the dignity of labour. A notable highlight is the active participation of girls in engineering, electrical work, and workshop activities, promoting gender equality in practical education. "The initiative is not only nurturing skilled, self-reliant citizens but also laying the groundwork for a strong and self-sustaining Uttar Pradesh, in line with the Skill India Mission," said Minister of Basic Education Sandeep Singh.

Gujarat distributes over 34,000 sports kits across schools to boost student engagement with sports
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat government has announced the distribution of 34,483 comprehensive sports kits in its primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools. The decision is rooted in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which places strong emphasis on the overall development of students, said officials. The Gujarat government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and the guidance of Education Minister Dr Kuber Dindor and Minister of State for Education Praful Panseriya, has taken this step to deepen students' engagement with sports and physical education. The new initiative builds upon the state's longstanding efforts to improve school enrollment and retention, particularly through the Shala Praveshotsav and Kanya Kelavani Mahotsav, launched in 2003. These programmes have historically aimed to bring every child into the fold of education. The latest decision to provide sports kits is seen as a natural extension, designed to ensure that children not only attend school but also thrive in a well-rounded educational environment. The project costs over Rs 29.45 crore. The sports kits will include 30 different types of sporting equipment, ensuring a wide variety and accessibility for students with varied interests. Each kit will contain items such as carrom boards, cricket bats of multiple sizes, badminton rackets and shuttlecocks, footballs, volleyballs, handballs, discus, rubber shot puts, javelins, chess sets, skipping ropes, hurdle sets, marking cones, relay batons, tenikoit rings, soft and hard tennis balls, stopwatches, and air pumps. These tools aim to encourage a culture of sportsmanship, teamwork, and an active lifestyle among school-going children. Distribution of the kits will be carried out across five zones covering all districts in the state. For instance, Zone 1 includes Aravalli, Banaskantha, Mehsana, Patan, and Sabarkantha. Zone 2 comprises Ahmedabad (both district and municipal corporation areas), Botad, Kutch, Kheda, Morbi, and Surendranagar. Zone 3 includes Amreli, Bhavnagar, Devbhumi Dwarka, Gir Somnath, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, and Rajkot (district and city). Zone 4 covers Anand, Chhota Udepur, Dahod, Gandhinagar, Mahisagar, and Panchmahal. Zone 5 includes Bharuch, Narmada, Navsari, Surat (district and city), Tapi, Dang, Vadodara (district and city), and Valsad. The kits will be delivered up to the cluster level, ensuring last-mile distribution. Unlike in 2022, when grants were given to schools to purchase sports equipment independently, this year the government has opted for direct provisioning of kits through the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan. This shift aims to bring greater transparency, uniform quality, and cost efficiency by eliminating discrepancies in procurement and ensuring that every student receives standardised and reliable sporting resources. The rationale behind the move goes beyond physical health. Officials highlight that sports contribute significantly to a child's emotional, social, and intellectual development. Regular involvement in sports helps inculcate values such as teamwork, discipline, self-initiative, responsibility, and leadership. It also fosters a sense of citizenship and cooperation, skills that are crucial for future societal participation, the officials added. Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future.

Govt committed to providing high-quality education: CM
Bhopal: CM Mohan Yadav on Thursday said the quality and employment-focused education is the foundation of a strong nation, and the country's rise as the world's largest democracy is attributed to its robust education system.

On the first day of the campaign, 4.3 lakh bicycles were distributed across various districts.
