The launch of these government colleges will be done in a phased manner. The initiative is taken to improve the quality of higher education. Currently, the students in Chhattisgarh have to consider admission to colleges in various metropolitan cities. It gets economically impracticable for some students, which may result in a hindered education. The upcoming academic session will see the launch of ten colleges in major cities.

The new initiative is aligned with the state’s drive where the government opened the Swami Atmanand English Medium Schools which provided good quality middle and high-school education.

The schools were opened under the Swami Atmanand Utkrisht Vidyalaya Yojana which resulted in a total of 247 schools. Dr Prem Sai Tekam, the school education minister, is spearheading the initiative and is responsible for fulfilling all non-educational and educational needs of the students. With the launch of such institutions, the state is aiming at improving the quality of education for the children who belong to the weaker sections and the middle-class families of society.
