Just days before March 8, Uttar Pradesh’s administration is pulling out all stops to operationalize toilets in government schools across 42 districts. The campaign, spearheaded by CM Yogi Adityanath, targets girls’ welfare head-on, covering key areas like Ayodhya, Kanpur, and Rampur.
Chief Secretary SP Goyal’s orders are unambiguous: by Women’s Day, every facility must boast impeccable hygiene, consistent cleaning, reliable water, lighting, and robust security features. Separate toilets for girls remain the cornerstone of this effort.
Experts predict a surge in girl child enrollment and retention, particularly addressing period-related absences that often lead to school abandonment. This pre-Women’s Day rollout positions the state as a frontrunner in girl-centric education reforms.
Real-time oversight comes via Prerna portal photo submissions, mandating interior and exterior shots from all schools. Officials at district and block levels are conducting on-site inspections, fast-tracking any pending works like plumbing or renovations.
With funding secured and timelines non-negotiable, failure invites disciplinary action. Ultimately, this isn’t mere construction—it’s about dignity, empowerment, and building a future where no girl is held back by inadequate facilities.
