Agartala: Nov 11: In the first phase, 100 schools were brought under Vidyajyoti schools in the state. This special scheme is mainly undertaken for the overall development of the schools and improvement of the quality of education. However, schools in several assembly constituencies are not covered under the Vidyajyoti Mission scheme. That is why the state government decided in the budget to bring 25 more schools under the Vidyajyoti Mission School scheme. Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath announced the names of 25 more new schools at a press conference in Mahakaran on Friday. He also announced the names of the assembly constituencies. Reading will start in these schools from the academic year 2023-24.
Currently, the total number of schools in Vidyajyoti Mission is 125. He also said that so far 90 people have been sent abroad through the Super Thirty scheme of the state government. The results of the first batch have already been released. Out of the 30 students of the first batch, 24 got opportunities for higher education in various institutions. The remaining 6 will try for the second time. But as per the policy of this scheme the state government provides one time financial assistance. So they will not get this financial assistance for the second time.
