Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently felicitated meritorious students, acknowledging the importance of education and the role of teachers in shaping a better future. During the event, he emphasized that guiding students to achieve high positions in the country, state, and district is a great honor for any teacher.
Various students from CBSE, CISCE, UP Secondary Education, and UP Board of Secondary Sanskrit Education were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements.
Adityanath quoted the Srimad Bhagwat Gita, stating that educating someone is considered a sacred duty and one of the greatest services to the country.
Among the 170 students honoured, 112 were girls who made it to the merit list in high school and intermediate exams. Adityanath stressed the need to focus more on the education and development of these students.
He also highlighted the initiatives by the Basic Education Council, which includes disbursing Rs 1200 per student to the bank accounts of parents of over 88 lakh students, providing certificates, tablets, and Rs 1 lakh cash to meritorious students.
In a unique move, Adityanath announced that roads in the villages or localities where the students reside will be named after them, or the government will undertake road construction projects in their honor.
The students will also have the opportunity to lay the foundation stone for these initiatives alongside the MLA and MP.
Reflecting on the state of education in the past, the UP CM pointed out the improvements made under his government, emphasizing the efficient conduct of copy-free examinations and quick result declarations.
The event was attended by officials including Secondary Education Minister Gulab Devi, Basic Education Minister Sandeep Singh, and others.
