The Bihar government has launched 'Vidya Sahi', a 24×7 interactive learning support programme, across 700 model schools in all 38 districts. Chief Minister Samrat Chowdhury announced the initiative on Thursday, saying it will enable nearly 3 lakh students to access live tutor support and digital study materials.
The programme is open to Classes 9 and 10 students, and science stream students in Classes 11 and 12. It will help prepare them for Bihar Board examinations as well as competitive tests like JEE and NEET. Students will be able to seek academic assistance from tutors at any time through the interactive learning platform.
CM Chowdhury directed that state-run model schools be operated more effectively with distinctive management, and that regular reviews of teacher availability, student attendance, and teaching quality be ensured. He also instructed the implementation of a 'One-Officer-One-Model-School' system for time-bound resolution of issues.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Bihar's school system, serving over 2 crore students, has long struggled with uneven teacher quality and access to coaching, a gap that private tutorial centres in Patna and other towns have filled at high cost. The 'Vidya Sahi' programme's core innovation is round-the-clock live tutoring, a model that depends entirely on reliable internet connectivity in rural Bihar, where only 40% of households have broadband access according to recent state surveys. With 3 lakh students targeted, covering all 38 districts, the state education department will now need to deploy thousands of trained tutors, likely through empanelled private partners, and ensure the digital resources align with the Bihar Board syllabus and JEE/NEET curricula. The next concrete test will be whether the planned 'One-Officer-One-Model-School' oversight mechanism can track student login and query-resolution times in the first quarter of operations.
