The vision of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel is becoming a reality as Swami Atmanand Excellent Government Schools, both in English and Hindi mediums, are positively impacting the lives of countless sons and daughters across the state. These schools are leaving their mark in every corner, from remote forests to plains, and are painting a bright picture of modern education. In the current academic session 2023-24, the state is proud to have a total of 726 Swami Atmanand schools, comprising 377 English medium schools and 349 Hindi medium schools. These schools are providing quality education to 1 lakh 70 thousand children in English medium and 2 lakh 20 thousand children in Hindi medium.
The state government’s initiative has bridged the gap between urban and rural education by extending modern facilities such as well-equipped playgrounds, state-of-the-art laboratories, and libraries to English medium schools even in remote areas. Swami Atmanand Excellent Government English Medium Schools, initiated under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel, have not only lightened the financial burden on parents but have also alleviated their concerns. Today, children are honing their talents and gaining confidence through their education in these schools.
The scheme has significantly boosted the self-esteem of economically disadvantaged students. Students from these schools have consistently secured positions in the merit list of board examinations. The presence of smart classrooms, impressive school buildings, modern libraries, sports grounds, and advanced laboratories has enhanced the appeal of government schools in the state, capturing the attention and trust of both students and parents alike.
This visionary scheme, aimed at narrowing the educational disparities between private and government schools, has been instrumental in providing equal educational opportunities to all children. The Chhattisgarh government is committed to continuing the expansion of Swami Atmanand Vidyalayas, driven by the goal of offering high-quality English medium education to economically disadvantaged students. This initiative is met with overwhelming enthusiasm from parents and communities, who recognize the positive transformation it brings to the education landscape in Chhattisgarh.
