Schools in the state are making ready for a defining two weeks as the Chief Minister puts the second phase of the abhiyan in motion on 1 July 2026. We are after 100 percent on the books and want to see those who have left come back. It’s up to parents to see to it that admissions are done and that showing up for school becomes part of the day-to-day.
In a statement to the public, the CM made it known that this is the time to make the aspirations of lakhs of kids a reality in the classroom. He has put the onus on teachers, parents and the community to work in unison. His office has put it on record that the campaign will be on across the state until 15 July 2026.
What you can expect as a family from 1 July 2026
Starting with the first of the month, there will be more of a door-to-door presence from government schools to find any child not yet in the system. You can count on some hands-on help from your local teachers and school clusters to get the formalities out of the way and put a child back in their studies if they have fallen by the wayside.
The state’s view is that this is about putting aside any reasons to stay away and building up confidence. We’ll be making a point of the mid-day rations from our Nutritional Support Programs and the special provisions for girls to put any misgivings to rest and have the students come back.
So that everyone is on the same page, here is what the officials have put forward:
– A daily check on attendance at both the school and cluster level
– Some sports and other activities to hold a child’s interest
– Looking past the numbers on a marksheet to give a child proper backing
– Putting 3 to 6 year olds into the Bal Vatika fold
On the numbers and the schedule
Put simply, the government wants to see 100 percent of primary and secondary students registered in this next phase. It is also a matter of seeing to it that any who have been out of the loop re-enrol without delay.
You have a hard stop for this from 1 to 15 July 2026. We would have you in contact with your nearest government school to sort out the details and get in line with the timetable.
Putting some muscle behind the schools
There is a quality component to the rise in enrolment we are after. We have Mission Prerna and Mission Nipun to keep tabs on how well the early grades are doing and to shore up their basics. Then there is Operation Kayakalp to make for a safer, better run campus.
For the girls, the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya is there to see them through with room, board and learning. Project Alankar is being put to use in the secondary sector to bring some modernity to the classroom. And with the Nutritional Support Programs, we are providing hot meals to keep health and attendance in check.
A word from the top and the ground
The Chief Minister has been plain about it: no child should be left out of the system. He has called it a movement of the people and tied it to the kind of future Uttar Pradesh is looking for in the years to come. He wants families and schools to move in lockstep.
You will see local authorities and teachers working together on some awareness drives and face-to-faces with parents. The idea is to make sure that once a name is on the roll, it means something in terms of what is learned over the course of the year.
Looking ahead
In the coming fortnight, the onus is on the schools to find the eligible children and close the book on any open admissions. If you have put off enrolling your child, now is the time to handle the paperwork and not put it off any longer.
The message from the administration is straightforward: a filled seat should mean a student in the room, day in and day out. Do it right and the second phase of School Chalo Abhiyan will be the difference for thousands of households when it comes to steady schooling and results you can put your finger on.
