UP orders young IAS and IPS officers to visit schools monthly
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered young IAS, IPS, and IFS officers to visit schools in their districts every month. NDTV reports that the directive aims to have these officers guide students on career options, competitive exams, and future opportunities. The order applies to officers with less than 10 years of service, who will be assigned specific schools. No details on monitoring or penalties for missing visits have been released yet.
The Indian Opinion
The idea of officials mentoring students sounds noble, but it risks becoming a box-ticking chore. Will a monthly visit by an overworked officer really guide a child in a remote village, or will it just be a photo op? The test is simple: check if officers actually interact one-on-one with students and follow up on queries. The number of schools that report meaningful engagement, not just a visit log, will reveal the truth.
