‘Buniyadi Shiksha Abhiyan’ launched

NAMSAI, 13 Sep: One Piramal Foundation launched a ‘Buniyadi Shiksha Abhiyan’ here on Tuesday.

The initiative aims at “achieving the objective of universal foundational and numeracy in schools by 2026-2027,” and focuses on lower primary students whose education was “impacted more in the aftermath of the pandemic,” the foundation said.

It said that, in the initial stage, the initiative will be introduced in “50 demo schools in all the blocks of Namsai, and thereafter will be taken forward.”

“Involvement of the community in addition to the teachers will be given equal importance while creating volunteers to make it successful on a larger scale,” it said.

DDSE K Umbon, Namsai CDPO W Khimum, CRCs and BRCs attended the launch function.
