Madhya Pradesh: 4-day 'School Chale Hum' campaign from April 1 to boost enrollment

Madhya Pradesh launches a 4-day 'School Chale Hum' campaign from April 1 to boost enrollment in govt schools, featuring CM Mohan Yadav.

"This move will motivate students - Official"

Bhopal, March 30

With the academic session 2026-27 set to begin from April 1, the Madhya Pradesh government will launch a state-wide 'School Chale Hum' campaign, which will run until April 4.

The School Education Department on Monday released a detailed programme, involving Ministers in charge and other public representatives to lead the campaign in their respective districts.

The campaign will be formally launched by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav during an event in Bhopal on April 1. A notification in this regard has been issued to all district collectors and district education officers.

During the campaign, special emphasis will be placed on student enrollment in government schools across the state. Madhya Pradesh has around 92,000 government schools, including primary, middle, high, and higher secondary schools, with nearly 8.5 million students currently studying in them.

At the district level, Ministers in charge will participate in the 'Praveshotsav' (enrolment festival) to be organised in selected schools. Members of Parliament (MPs), Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and other public representatives will also attend these events.

During the campaign, children identified as out of school in villages and habitations will be enrolled in the nearest government-run schools.

On the second day of the campaign, schools will organise 'Bhavishya Se Bhet'. Under this initiative, distinguished personalities from different fields will be invited to interact with students as motivational speakers.

"Local achievers such as sportspersons, writers, artists, media professionals, communication partners, police officers, and government officials will be invited to schools. This move will motivate students," an official said.

District collectors have been instructed to ensure that Class I and Class II officers visit at least one school and interact with students during a class period.

Cultural and sports activities will be organised at the school level with the participation of parents.

"The objective is to strengthen the connection between parents and schools. On the same day, the school's academic staff will inform parents about various government schemes related to school education," the official added.

Parents of students who maintained more than 85 per cent attendance during the previous academic session will be honoured at the event.

Meanwhile, students who were unable to secure promotion to the next class due to various reasons will be identified. Parents will be counselled about continuing their children's education and encouraged to support them in overcoming setbacks.

As a parent in Indore, I appreciate the effort to connect with us. Honouring parents for good attendance is a nice touch. But I hope this isn't just a 4-day show. We need consistent teacher presence, clean toilets, and safe buildings for our children throughout the year.

Good step by MP govt. Getting kids back to school is crucial. The 'Bhavishya Se Bhet' program with local role models is brilliant. A young athlete or a writer from their own district can motivate kids more than any textbook. Hope they reach the remote villages effectively.

Interesting to see such a structured campaign. The focus on counselling parents of children who couldn't get promoted is very compassionate and important to prevent dropouts. Wishing the teams on the ground all the best for this massive effort across 92,000 schools!

Enrollment is one thing, retention is another. The real challenge begins after April 4. Need to ensure mid-day meals are regular, classrooms are not overcrowded, and learning actually happens. Otherwise, it's just another government 'abhiyan' for the files.

Bringing parents to school for cultural activities is a wonderful idea to break the barrier. Many parents, especially in rural areas, feel intimidated to approach school staff. This can build a much-needed partnership for the child's future. 👏
