Along with the school reopening, the second phase of the highly popular 'School Chale Hum' (Let Us Go to School) campaign will also officially kick off on June 16, 2026, and will continue until June 30, 2026.
This campaign is one of the most important education drives in Madhya Pradesh. Here is what it aims to do:
• Ensure 100% enrollment of all eligible children in schools.
• Identify children who have dropped out of school and bring them back into the education system.
• Reach every eligible child in all 55 districts and over 50,000 villages across the state.
• Conduct door-to-door surveys to find children who are out of school and help them get re-admitted.
• Use the Child Tracking System available on the Hamare Shikshak App to monitor dropout students.
• District Collectors have been asked to regularly review the campaign progress at the district level.
3. Textbook Distribution Before Session Begins
The School Education Department has also directed authorities to ensure that textbooks are distributed to students before the academic session starts on June 16. As part of the School Chale Hum campaign, over 5.6 crore textbooks, foundational literacy workbooks, and bridge courses were planned for distribution this academic year.
Good News for Government School Students: The Madhya Pradesh government provides free textbooks, uniforms, bicycles, and mid-day meals to eligible students. Over 4 lakh students are set to receive free bicycles this academic year. Government schools also recorded a 32.4% increase in enrollment in the 2025-26 session — showing the growing trust in public education.
Conclusion
