Raipur 13 April 2023
Jamidonz school building with the dreams of the innocent. A bamboo hut built with the hope of turning dreams into reality. Finally, the firm building of the school defeats fear in front of stubbornness.
These three pictures of the school building prove that nothing is impossible. Looking at the debris of demolished school buildings in Naxal-affected areas of Bastar, no one could have guessed that the picture here would change like this. In the “Bharose Ka Sammelan” organized in Jagdalpur, this model is showing the picture of rejuvenation of education in Naxalite affected area of Bastar at Sanvarta Sukma stall.
On the instructions of the Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, in the year 2018-19, it was decided to re-start the schools which were demolished earlier in the sensitive areas of Bastar. Due to the demolition of most of the school buildings by the Naxalites, a total of 123 schools were closed from the year 2006 to 2010 in development block Konta under Sukma district. Most of the school buildings were demolished by the Naxalites, the schools were not operated for about 12 to 13 years. As per the wish of the Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, 123 closed schools were reopened in Sukma district from 2018-19 to 2022-23. Initially the schools were run in huts built by the villagers. At present, the approval of the building has been given by the government in 30 places. Out of which buildings have been completed at 54 places. The construction work is in progress at the remaining places. Presently 4382 children are studying in these schools.
Shikshadoots changed the picture – On the initiative of the administration, it was decided to make educated youths of the same Gram Panchayat as Shikshadoots, who kept the children connected with education in their village. Due to their efforts, all the schools which were closed in the district for the last four years are running again through Shikshadoots.
Jagargunda got the approval of examination center after 14 years– After the Salwa Judum campaign, the educational institutions of Jagargunda were operated in Dornapal, so that the examinees used to reach Dornapal a month before traveling a distance of 56 km to appear in the examination. At the same time, until the completion of the examination, alternative arrangements were made in the ashram-hostel for the students to stay. Whereas some children appeared in the examination by staying in a rented house. In 2019, the ashram-schools were re-operated from Dornapal to Jagargunda. Wherein 10th, 12th examinees had to come to Dornapal to appear for the board exams for 2 years. Now, due to the establishment of the new center, the students did not have to travel long distances, due to which the extra hassle during the examination was reduced. As soon as the situation became normal in Dhur Naxal-affected area Jagargunda, the district administration set up an examination center to provide relief to the examinees. Due to the establishment of the center, the additional problems of the examinees were also reduced, due to which the examinees got enough time to prepare for the examination. In the district, 16 examination centers were set up for the successful conduct of the examination of Mashim. In the past years, board exams were conducted in 14 centres. This year 3 new exam centers were created.
