At the same time, in the third phase, it will be taken to all 350 tehsils of the state, while in the fourth phase, such schools will be established in 825 development blocks. Not only this, he said that in the fifth phase we will take it to the Nyaya Panchayat level.

Apart from this, he said that in the next phase, children from class 1 to class 12 will study in the 57 schools that will be built. Bal Vatika will also be built in these. Earlier, CM Yogi provided school bags and textbooks to the children getting admission in class 6 and class 9.

Poverty and illiteracy are the biggest enemies of the society-
In his address, CM Yogi said that revered Atal ji used to say that no power in the world can stop the society which successfully combats illiteracy and scarcity from being safe and prosperous. These scarcity and illiteracy are the biggest enemies of the society. Scarcity comes from poverty, inaction, anarchy, corruption, mutual division and wherever there is corruption, anarchy, scarcity, there will also be jungle raj, there will be disorder, there will be unsafe environment, no one will be respected. At the same time, when the society does not get leadership in the right direction, diseases like illiteracy spread rapidly and a large part of the society comes under its grip. In such a situation, poverty, hunger, lack of resources, all these distortions are seen in the society. Revered Atal ji had a wide life experience and he expressed that experience through his words, through his poetry and when he got the opportunity to come to the government, he worked to implement a comprehensive action plan to fight these evils on the ground.
Every section of the society is getting good education without discrimination-
CM Yogi said that whether it is an individual or society, you cannot imagine a civilized and capable society and nation without educating them. CM Yogi said that Atal Residential School should become the standard of quality of education. Without discrimination, children from every section of the society should get rights over the resources of the country, society, government without asking their caste, face, region and language. To make people realize this right, Atal Residential School has been presented as a model of education. CM said that now he got the opportunity to formally interact with the children in a class room. Talent is not a hostage of caste, opinion and religion. Talent can be born anywhere, it just needs to be given a platform. Proper opportunities have to be provided for that and this should be the responsibility of the government.
Those who have always exploited will not be able to understand the pain of the poor-
Attacking those who do divisive politics, the CM said that how will these people who fight in the name of caste and encourage the enemies of the country by creating social animosity in the name of social justice be able to bear the sting of poverty, will they be able to understand it. Those who have always exploited, spread anarchy, never seen poverty, expect them to understand the pain of the registered workers associated with the BOC Board or these destitute children who have lost their parents or guardians during the Covid period. Those people have neither the time nor the leisure to understand it, because they have their own agendas. Their only agenda and goal is to divide people for political gain. Apart from this, they do not see anything else. They want that a poor person should never be free from poverty, deprivation and illiteracy. If this happens, then their politics of division and social animosity will end completely. Therefore, by hook or crook, these people want to bring the society to the brink of division. This is the reason that governments were there earlier too, money was there earlier too, but education was not arranged for the children of the poor. CM Yogi said that Atal Residential School is being established as a model to shake the foundations of those who want to create anarchy, chaos, and mafia in the field of education.
2000 such schools will be seen in the state in the coming time-
CM Yogi said about the upcoming action plan that in the next session, we have given money to the Basic Education Council to establish schools in 57 districts so that every poor child of the state, every deprived child can get education without discrimination. Such schools are going to open in 57 districts. We are going to establish them as CM Composite School and in the third phase, we will take it to all the tehsils. There are 350 tehsils in the state, one school will be built in each of them. In the fourth phase, such schools will be built in 825 development blocks. If such schools are built in 825 development blocks, then any village will be covered under the Pradhan Mantri Svanidhi Yojana.
No child of the poor will be deprived of good and excellent education. He said that in the fifth phase, we will take it to the Nyaya Panchayat level. This means that 2000 such schools will be seen in the state which will become a medium to give good education to the children. Atal Residential Schools are for classes 6 to 12. In these, information about computers, skill development, sports, art and music is being given. However, in the 57 schools that are going to be built, children from class 1 to 12 will study. Bal Vatika will also be built in them. That is, by giving admission to children from pre-primary to 3 to 5 years, we will also work to connect the new generation with it, so that they can also see their future school. Along with sports, health checkup has also been arranged in these schools. Only if the children are healthy, then they will build a healthy society.
Teachers should inculcate the feeling of nation first in the students –
CM Yogi appealed to the teachers that there is a need to take these children towards all-round development. They should have physical and mental development, they should be intellectually mature, their talent needs to be brought in front of the society without any discrimination. He said that there should be no discrimination against any child. Socially, educationally, practically, they need to be told that every child should have only one aim and that is that my country will be the first priority of my life. They should have a feeling of complete dedication towards the country in their mind. If they work with this feeling, then not only will it help in realizing the establishment of such institutions, but more people will also be able to join in this direction. He said that it is a pleasure to tell that after seeing the model of Atal Residential School, many people have offered that we also want to cooperate in building the school.
The academic session should be started by August 1 at any cost-
CM Yogi in his address also instructed the Atal Residential School management that from next year, the written examination for the children of class 6 and class 9 should be conducted by June 15 at any cost and the academic session should be started by August 1 at any cost by taking admission of children by July 15. He also directed that meetings should be held with the parents of the children twice a year and they should be communicated with. He said that parents should also see the future of their children and promote it in the society, so that other children can also get its benefits. He said that if children are given admission keeping in mind merit and not any recommendation, then positive results will be seen. Apart from this, the CM said that once a year, competitions of sports and cultural activities should also be organized in Atal Residential Schools. First at the school level and then at the state level, the children who achieve success in this should be honored on the occasion of the annual festival.
