The chief minister said, “I want the children of our state to be ahead in every field, be it academic, sports, music or technology. You should dream big and have the confidence to face all challenges in life.”

Stating that the school transformation programme has bridged the urban-rural divide among the school students, he said now the government schools in rural areas also have same atmosphere as private schools.

“An important thing is that the government has reserved 15% of the seats for students of government schools so that they can become doctors and engineers,” the chief minister said.
