Govt to Conduct Free Eye Tests for Students, Drivers in July
The government is organizing free eye tests in schools for students and drivers.
This is part of a health campaign called Shala Swasthya Pariksha Abhiyan.
The eye tests will happen in July.
If someone needs glasses after the test, they'll get them.
The education department officials are also working on things like tracking school attendance with an app, providing textbooks, and making sure everyone has a midday meal.
Eye test camps will be set up in all government schools in July.
The eye tests will be free of charge for students and drivers.
Glasses will be provided to those in need after the eye tests.
The decision was made at a review meeting of the Project Management Unit.
Officials are directed to upload data related to mid-day meals.
