Assam has changed meaning of govt schools with Adarsha Vidyalayas: Himanta Sarma · thehansindia.com

Assam is building special government schools called Adarsha Vidyalayas.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma says these schools are more than just new buildings.

They are planned as complete places for learning.

They may have smart classrooms, science and computer labs, libraries and playgrounds.

The goal is to give children across Assam better learning opportunities.

The programme is especially intended to help students in rural and semi-urban areas.

The government wants children in government schools to compete with students from well-resourced schools.

It is expanding these schools across different districts.

The initiative is part of Assam's wider effort to improve school education.
