UP: CM Yogi Adityanath holds 'Janta Darshan' in Lucknow, listens to public grievances
Lucknow, June 29
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday heard public grievances and reviewed applications during a 'Janta Darshan' held in Lucknow, personally taking note of their concerns.
People carried written grievances, which were reviewed by the Chief Minister on the spot.
The 'Janta Darshan' is a recurring programme of the Chief Minister's public engagement, allowing citizens to bring their problems and concerns directly before him. The Chief Minister directed the concerned officials to address the people's grievances, giving a copy of the complaint of the officials present at the janta darshan.
Meanwhile, CM Yogi on Monday urged teachers and parents to work together to ensure every child attends school regularly as the state prepares to launch the second phase of its 'Chalo School Campaign' from July 1.
In a post on X, Adityanath said July marks not only the beginning of a new month but also a renewed commitment to fulfil the dreams of millions of children by bringing them to school.
"My esteemed fellow citizens of the state, July is not merely the beginning of a new month, but also the time for renewing our resolve to bring the dreams of millions of children to school. In Uttar Pradesh, the second phase of the 'Chalo School Campaign' is commencing from July 1," CM wrote.
He called upon teachers to make classrooms more engaging and appealed to parents to assess children beyond academic scores."Dear teachers, ensure that children do not view school merely as part of a daily routine, but show genuine interest in attending. Activities such as sports and games can serve as excellent means to achieve this," CM said.
Emphasising the role of parents in shaping children's future, Adityanath urged them to prioritise regular school attendance and evaluate children on the basis of their dedication and determination.
"Parents, evaluate your children not by their marks, but by their determination and dedication. It is you who must ensure their regular attendance at school," CM said.

Good to see the emphasis on education. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the call to make classrooms more engaging. But parents also need to be held accountable - many just send kids to school without checking if they actually learn anything.
'Evaluate children by their determination, not marks' - this is such a progressive statement! Our education system needs this mindset shift. However, I wish the CM would also address the shortage of teachers and basic infrastructure in government schools.
'Janta Darshan' is a good concept, but it's only for the lucky few who can reach Lucknow. What about villagers in remote areas? They need similar programmes at district levels. Still, better than nothing I guess!
The 'Chalo School Campaign' is wonderful! As a mother, I love that he's asking parents to look beyond marks. My son is terrible at exams but great at drawing - hopefully more schools will start recognising such talents. ❤️
I'm from Canada but have family in Lucknow. This kind of direct interaction with the CM is impressive. Our politicians could learn from this approach of being accessible to citizens. Hope it leads to real change on the ground.
