On the information about admission of 25 percent poor children in private schools under Right to Education, BSA said that 2900 children have been admitted in 3500 schools in the district.

On this, he launched a campaign and directed to register all the private schools and ensure admission of 25 percent poor children in them.
He said that a war against drugs campaign has been conducted by the government. Under which, Sentinel Clubs will be formed in all inter colleges from class 6 to 12 and in colleges. By forming Prahari Club in the schools within a week, the sale of tobacco and other intoxicants should be stopped within the radius of 100 meters of the schools. In coordination with the District Probation Officer, take an oath for de-addiction in prayer meetings by January 31 and give a photograph. There should be a complete ban on the sale of banned medicines by installing CCTV in medical stores.
Divisional Commissioner Ravindra said that children are the basis of our future, the issues related to children’s rights have to be implemented by different departments. In such a situation, by working in mutual coordination, the government’s intentions should be implemented on the ground. He said that from the birth of the child to higher education, many such schemes are being run by the government, which can change the condition and direction of the child.
