Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma, on the 75th Independence Day of India, launched the ‘Vidya Rath – School on Wheels’ project aimed at imparting elementary education to economically challenged children of the society.
It was launched at the premises of Guwahati High Court in Assam by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma along with Chief Justice of Guwahati High Court RM Chhaya.
“The Vidya Rath- School on Wheels project will be helpful in empowering economically challenged children academically. There cannot have been a more auspicious occasion for launching this noble cause than the occasion of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav when we are celebrating 75 years of our independence. I sincerely hope that this project will be really helpful in bringing our children who hitherto remain outside the ambit of formal education”.
The Vidya Rath-School on Wheels is supposed to provide elementary education to underprivileged children for 10 months. After which, the children will be integrated into the conventional system of education. Children will also be provided with uniforms and textbooks and free-mid day meals under the project.
