2. Since being recognized as a State in 2000, Chhattisgarh seems to be on a growth
trajectory in every sector including the education. To improve the education standards
of the State and to provide good quality education to youth, the Government is
promoting and installing virtual classrooms, smart classrooms and smart libraries in
educational institutes across the State. It contains pre-recorded lectures of important
topics from various eminent professors to help students learn effectively.
To provide them with extra input, it is being tried to focus that every college has a Wi-
Fi so that they can search more things about their subjects. We are also planning to
distribute them Tablets pre-loaded with the content of certain important topics of the
subjects. Other than that the government is also planning to distribute tablets pre-
loaded with the content of certain important topics of the subjects. The State
Government has launched several programmes for enhancing the academic scenario of
Chhattisgarh. Persistent efforts of the State Government have led to Chhattisgarh
witnessing an overall growth in the literacy rate.
The Government is trying to enhance the use of Education Technology

3. Most of the children in the State usually attend three years of
Montessori Education before joining 1st standard in a school. Like
other States and Union Territories (UT) of India, the schools in
Chhattisgarh follow the same 10+2 pattern of education pedagogy.
One can come across both private and state-run schools in
Chhattisgarh.
The Government-run schools are mostly affiliated to the Chhattisgarh
Board of Secondary Education. Students can also join schools
affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE),
Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) or
International Baccalaureate (IB) schools.
The state-run schools have adopted Hindi as the medium of
instruction while English is preferred by most of the private schools.

4. Despite the Government’s continuous efforts, Chhattisgarh
ranked among the 10 lowest positioned states for primary (I-V
classes) and middle schools (VI-VIII) with 28th position on a
list of 35 on the Education Development Index (EDI). While
there is a host of factors discouraging children to attend
schools, Naxalism is the root cause for putting off young ones
from going to schools. The State is placed higher than bigger
states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on EDI but it is found that
Chhattisgarh has fallen behind in most of the 24 performance
indicators for education sector that were broadly grouped
under four segments — access, teachers, outcome and
infrastructure.

5. Like school education, the Government and various private players have invested
to improve the Higher Education in Chhattisgarh.
There are 206 government colleges and seven universities including private
universities. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in the State is around 13 per cent,
far behind the national average of GER which is around 22 but certain measures
have been taken by the Chhattisgarh Government to equate the GER of the State
with that of the national average.
The most important of those measures is the implementation of Rashtriya
Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA). RUSA is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme
(CSS), launched in 2013, with an aim to provide strategic funding to eligible
higher educational institutions of different states. The scheme focuses on three
major aspects: Access to education, equity among children and providing quality
education.
For easy access of higher education to youth of the State, The government is
coming up with four new universities at Jagdalpur, Bilaspur, Durg and Ambikapur.
Under RUSA, grant of Rs 20 crore has been sanctioned for the construction of
each new university.
