A state‑wide survey in Jharkhand identified 9,560 children who were not attending school, and they have now been enrolled in the education system.
Jharkhand's education department announced that 9,560 children who were previously out of school have been officially enrolled following a recent survey. The figures were reported by The Times of India, which cited the state’s enrollment drive as a direct response to the survey’s findings.
The survey, conducted across the state, pinpointed children who were not attending any formal school. In response, authorities initiated an enrollment campaign to bring these children into the formal education system, aiming to improve overall attendance rates.
State officials said the addition of nearly ten thousand students will contribute to Jharkhand's broader goal of achieving universal primary education and reducing dropout rates.
