Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday ordered a comprehensive overhaul of Jayaprakash Narayan Sarvodaya Vidyalayas, the state-run residential schools for disadvantaged students. He directed officials to draft a clear operational framework, speed up recruitment for vacant teaching posts, and set up a dedicated society to manage the schools.
The directions came during a review of the Social Welfare Department, attended by Minister Asim Arun. The CM stressed the need for a structured and efficient management system. The move aims to address long-standing vacancies and governance gaps in these residential institutions, which serve Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and OBC students across the state.
The Sarvodaya schools, named after socialist leader Jayaprakash Narayan, have long been a flagship UP government initiative to provide free residential education to children from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. With over 100 schools across the state and thousands of teaching posts vacant, the directive signals a push to fix systemic understaffing rather than a policy overhaul. The proposed dedicated society mirrors the model used for Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas. The next concrete step is the recruitment timeline officials must now submit, a notification of exam dates would indicate genuine momentum.
