Zero-budget ‘Gyan Sabha’ turns Bilaspur government school assemblies into knowledge hubs

Bilaspur’s education authorities have launched a zero-budget initiative called ‘Gyan Sabha’ across government schools. The scheme repurposes the traditional morning assembly, turning it into a platform for sharing knowledge and encouraging curiosity among students. Teachers and staff organize short talks, quizzes and discussions without requiring additional financial resources, relying on existing school materials and community expertise. Early reports suggest that the approach is fostering a more engaging atmosphere and promoting a culture of continuous learning in the classrooms. The model is being monitored for possible replication in other districts of Chhattisgarh.
