Emphasising on the importance of smart and quality education, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath interacted with the toppers of Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) in Moradabad on Tuesday.

During his interaction, the chief minister said that children are the pillars of the golden future of a new Uttar Pradesh. “Students should work hard with dedication without any fear of failure as the government is here to take care of all their needs in achieving their goals,” Yogi said.

He lauded the toppers and also congratulated the teachers and family members of the students.

Maintaining that his government is working to provide smart and quality education to students in the state, Yogi said that the ‘Abhyudaya’ scheme is benefiting all the underprivileged children coming from families with lack of financial resources.

Speaking about better implementation of the ‘Abhyudaya’ scheme to benefit maximum children, the CM said that the government is working to assist every candidate in each district in their preparations for various competitive examinations.

Flaying the previous governments for not working towards improving the education sector in the state, Yogi said: “Whenever selfish people enter politics, they only try to divide the society on the basis of language, religion, culture and caste. Their politics is restricted to dynasties and casteism, but our government worked to provide smartphones and tablets to undergraduate and post-graduate students to help them hone their skills.”

The CM went on to say that the government is providing optical fiber facility in every gram panchayat and every person and every school should also move towards smart and quality education.

Stressing on e-learning, the chief minister said no child should remain deprived of access to quality education and e-learning platforms should be used to bridge the gap between tutors and students.
