Shocking thing from the board
The report of the Central Government’s Project Approval Board, prepared and published recently on May 12, 2023, is quite shocking. Bhupendra Patel’s government claims that former Gujarat Chief Minister and current Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the school entrance festival in the state since 2003. He used to visit the village and welcome them in the school. Bhupendra Patel is successfully carrying forward the tradition of Modi’s education. School entrance festival has resulted in a revolution in the field of education in Gujarat.
In which it has been said that in 2019-20, 23.7 percent students in secondary school i.e. class 9 and 10 had run away from school. In which 26 percent were boys and 20.6 percent were girls.
But the reality is that in 2020-21, 23.3 per cent children dropped out of higher education. In which 25.1 percent were boys and 20.9 percent were girls. These are the figures which expose Modi’s secrets.
