Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel announced that the government will open English medium government colleges in various cities across Chhattisgarh in an effort to boost higher education. Initially, ten institutions will be established in ten major cities. In reference to the state government’s three-year plan, the minister stated that these colleges will be established in each district headquarters.
Tweeting the notice announcing the educational development plan, Baghel, in the caption, wrote, “Just like the good-quality government schools, we have decided to open excellent government colleges. These colleges will be English medium and will provide excellent higher education. Initially, they will be launched in 10 major cities of the state. In the next three years, every district headquarter will have one government college.”
Initiative to improve the quality of higher education
The establishment of these government colleges will take place in stages. The initiative is being undertaken in order to improve the quality of higher education. Students in Chhattisgarh must currently consider admission to colleges in various metropolitan cities. It becomes economically unfeasible for some students, resulting in a hampered education. Ten new colleges will open in major cities during the upcoming academic year.
The new initiative is in line with the state’s initiative, which saw the establishment of Swami Atmanand English Medium Schools, which provided high-quality middle and high school education.
The schools were established as part of the Swami Atmanand Utkrisht Vidyalaya Yojana, which resulted in the establishment of 247 schools.
Dr. Prem Sai Tekam, the school education minister, is leading the initiative and is responsible for meeting all of the students’ non-educational and educational needs.
With the establishment of such institutions, the state hopes to improve the quality of education for children from lower-income and middle-class families in society.
