The Uttar Pradesh Government has launched a special campaign to ensure admission of the entire eligible child population to primary schools. A similar campaign, named "school chalo abhiyan", had been launched at the beginning of the academic session last year too which paid dividends. According to State Education Department officials, while the rate of dropout during earlier years was about 50 per cent, last year the Rabi came down to 28 per cent. The present campaign is expected to reduce it further.In the first phase of the campaign, lasting up to July 15, it is proposed to identify all children who have reached the school-going age and who had been admitted last year but later dropped out.
