09 Jun, 2024
The Government of Assam has taken up a revolutionary initiative of setting up more Adarsh Vidyalayas to improve education sector in the State. These Adarsh Vidyalayas are English-medium schools set up in rural areas, affiliated to CBSE and managed by Adarsh Vidyalaya Sangathan. Currently, 38 such schools are already running and academic sessions have begun in 18 more.
Further, the government has taken the initiative of setting up 118 Tea Estate Model Schools. Of these, 97 have already been inaugurated and classes have begun in the academic session 2022-23. Last year, President Smt Droupadi Murmi had laid foundation stones for 100 more TE Model Schools in the State.
Every Adarsh Vidyalaya is equipped with Atal Tinkering Lab and Smart Classes. These schools have set a new benchmark by registering a pass percentage of over 93% in the past five years. Under Project Child, not only the mental and physical well-being of children are ensured, but training is also provided to headmasters/headmistresses and teachers of these schools. Science exhibitions, discussions, workshops, sports competitions, cultural programmes, educational tours, etc, are regularly organised in these Adarsha Vidyalayas to inculcate scientific temperament and promote a competitive spirit among the children.
