Collector Dr. S.N. Bhure urged college principals in Rajnandgaon to encourage girl students to apply for the Azim Premji Scholarship Scheme, which offers ₹30,000 annually to help low-income government school graduates pursue undergraduate or diploma studies. Applications will be accepted in two phases, September 10–30, 2025, and January 10–31, 2026.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has launched the Azim Premji Scholarship Scheme, a landmark initiative to support girl students from government schools in pursuing undergraduate and diploma courses across India. The scheme offers free online applications and QR code access, ensuring easy participation for students in both urban and rural areas. Aimed at empowering meritorious girls from marginalized backgrounds, the initiative reflects the state government’s commitment to inclusive education and gender equality, with thousands expected to benefit in the 2025–26 academic session.

The 500-seater Prayas Residential School will begin this year in Rajnandgaon’s newly built Education Hub with ₹43.90 lakh sanctioned under the Mukhyamantri Bal Bhavishya Suraksha Yojana. Collector Dr. Bhure inspected the campus and instructed early completion of remaining works.

Rajnandgaon district in Chhattisgarh has launched a groundbreaking Digital Monitoring System to track student performance in real time across 1,336 government schools. Using the Vinoba App, the system ensures transparency, improves academic outcomes, and enables data-driven decisions to enhance learning. This tech-driven initiative reflects the district’s strong commitment to quality education and innovation.

In a major step toward educational reform, the Vinoba Team and Rajnandgaon District Administration signed an MoU to enhance the quality of education in government schools. Through the Vinoba App, this initiative will empower teachers with digital tools, streamline academic programs, and significantly improve student learning outcomes, positioning Rajnandgaon as a model for innovation in public education.

The Chhattisgarh government’s rationalisation policy is proving effective in enhancing educational quality across rural and tribal areas, especially in the remote villages of Chhuriya block. With the strategic redeployment of teachers, the number of single-teacher schools has drastically reduced— from 93 to just 1 in primary schools and from 9 to 1 in upper primary schools. Six previously teacher-less schools now have full staffing, bringing stability to learning environments. This initiative is expected to ensure consistent education, better utilisation of educational resources, and renewed hope for children and parents in far-flung areas.

The Chhattisgarh Parents’ Association has expressed strong dissatisfaction over the delay in implementing subject-specific teacher placement norms in government secondary schools, a decision earlier announced by the Chief Minister. The association warned that continued inaction could harm the educational prospects of students from underprivileged backgrounds and hinted at launching a protest if reforms are not expedited.
