Minister of State for School and Higher Education Deepak Joshi inspired the motivators for better work by honouring them instead of being honoured by them on Thursday at the training programme for motivators who have offered their voluntary services under School Chalen Hum Abhiyan by giving missed calls.
Joshi said that a motivator can discharge his responsibility by associating himself with a child for one day, one week, one month or entire year. He urged them to become partners in efforts to realise the concept of ‘Best State-Educated State’.
Joshi said that motivators should ensure admission of every left out child in school. He said that efforts should also be made to ensure that no child is out of school till Class VIII. Joshi gave example of construction of proverbial Ram Setu saying that this campaign will become a mass movement with everyone’s cooperation. The School Education Minister said that schools’ basic requirements will be fulfilled. Teachers’ regular attendance will be ensured.
Chairperson of Madhya Pradesh Child Rights Protection Commission Usha Chaturvedi said that flower saplings should be planted if one-year scheme is chalked out, trees for 10-year scheme and if one chalks out a scheme for unending period then he should educate people. She also gave information about Right to Education enshrined in the Constitution. Commission’s member Vijaya Shukla also spoke on the occasion.
District Education Officer Prashant Dolas informed about the campaign. Motivators Srishti Shrivastava, Rameshwari Ahirwar, Mahesh Nema, Fazal, Malti Trivedi, Neeraj Gaur and Chetan Tamrakar also put forth their suggestions.
