The Uttar Pradesh government launched the 'School Chalo Abhiyan' on the first day of the new academic session to enhance school enrollment rates.

Minister of State for Basic Education, Sandeep Singh, emphasized the importance of this initiative, which will run in two phases: from April 1 to 15 and July 1 to 15.
