He said that during his visit to various government schools and colleges in the past few days, he noticed lack of adequate facilities and equipment in laboratories. Due to shortage of teachers, students are not getting proper education, hence recruitment of guest teachers or teachers will also benefit the students.

Historical places are losing their existence
Regarding the renovation and beautification of tourist places in the area, Bhavna Bohra said that there are many historical religious places, tourist areas, natural waterfalls in our Pandariya Assembly, where tourists come, but their maintenance was not done on time by the previous Congress government. Due to not being done properly and development work not being done, those places are also losing their existence today. Along with this, there are many religious places and temples in the assembly which are famous in the entire state, hence keeping in view the public faith, there is a great need to renovate those places also.
He also prominently expressed his views on developing the Vananchal area Kui Kukdur and Bhainsadar as tourist destinations and on developing the Kunwar Achhariya Dev Sthal and giving the status of a festival to the fair organized there by the Tourism and Culture Department. He said that the entire Chhattisgarh is aware of the ancient importance of this place of worship and the fair held here is also famous. Tourists from every corner of the state come here to visit. At present, due to irregularities there has been a decline in tourists. Due to lack of adequate facilities, the ancient artefacts located here are also being destroyed, hence their development has become very necessary. By preserving the tourist places and natural beauty of these areas, the people living in the forest areas will get employment opportunities and the development of the area will also be ensured.
