The vision of Education for India is contained in Article 45 of its constitution “Free & Compulsory Education for all children upto the age of 14.” Since independence, government has expanded the provision of elementary education & many new programmes were introduced to improve the situation. The overall challenge in education is to sustain & deepen current reforms in primary education in the era of fiscal adjustment & increasing administrative & political decentralization. Strategies for expanding & improving Elementary Education need to be planned & managed locally to address the diverse constraints in primary education with a sharper focus on cost-effectiveness. The Annual Work Plan & Budget prepared for the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan-2005-06 is based on the previous experiences, brainstorming from grassroot to the top level, exploring creative solutions through creative problem solving & other form of possibility thinking to get the collective best outcomes with the spirit of Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM). I hope that the successful implementation of overall activities proposed by Education Department will be able to sort out the problems like building-less schools, single teacher school, lack of staff, teacher motivation, timely release of various grants & improving overall situations. Though our plan is ambitious but it is realistic in the sense that we have very clear vision for timely implementation of all activities with the mantra-“Think big, Start with small & Act Now” (DR. ALOK SHUKLA) SECRETARY, SCHOOL EDUCATION DKS MANTRALAYA BHAWAN GOVT.

It is situated between 17.46 to 24.05 degree North latitudes and 80.15 to 84.26 East longitude. Rice is the principal crop of the state. Uttar Pradesh to the North, Jharkhand to the North East, Orissa to the east, Andhra Pradesh to the south-east and south, Maharashtra to the south-west, Madhya Pradesh to the west and north-west form its boundaries. Administratively it comprises of 16 districts, carved out of the original seven, viz., Raipur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Bilaspur, Surguja, Raigarh and Bastar.The last three districts lie on the fringes of the region and are considerably influenced by the culture and ecology of the areas they border, Mirzapur, Ranchi, Gumla, Gadchiroli, some districts of Orissa, and the Telengana districts of Andhra pradesh. The Chhattisgarh region, has a large area under forest cover, rich mineral reserves (limestone, quartzite, iron ore, bauxite alexandrite), and a large tribal population. The river Mahanadi flows through the central part of the region, and the plains areas in the river valley are famous for rice cultivation. People The population is mixed around this industrial and urban belt. In the rural areas of the Mahanadi valley, OBCs like the Sahus and the Kurmis dominant agriculture, and the Satnamis constitute a major scheduled caste component. Chhattisgarh has approximately 32.5 % Scheduled Tribe population, 12% Scheduled Caste population, and more than 50% Other Backward Classes. Some of these areas, dominated by the Gond, Halba and Kamar/Bhujia and Oraon tribes, have recently been covered under the Extension of Panchayati Raj to Scheduled Areas. SCHEDULED TRIBES The scheduled tribes constitute 32.5 percent of the State’s population. Almost 98.1% of this population lives in the rural areas and only 1.9% lives in urban Chhattisgarh. The Scheduled Tribes are concentrated in the southern, the northern and the north-eastern districts. The highest concentration is in the erstwhile Bastar district. The district of Dantewara has 79 percent tribals followed by Bastar (67 percent) Jashpur (65 percent), Surguja (57 percent) and Kanker (56 percent). There are a total of 42 tribes in Chhattisgarh, principal among them being the Gond tribe. Besides, a large population of Kanwar, Brinjhwar, Bhunjia, Bhatra, Uraon, Munda, Kamar, Halba, Baiga, Sanwra, Korwa, Bharia, Nageshia, Manghwar, Kharia and Dhanwar tribe are also found in the State. SCHEDULED CASTES Scheduled Castes with a total population of 21.5 lakhs comprised 12.2 percent of the total population of Chhattisgarh. Most of the Scheduled Castes are found in the central and north central parts of Chhattisgarh. The districts of Janjgir-Champa, Bilaspur and Raipur had over 15 percent scheduled castes. The relatively larger concentration of scheduled castes is found in Raigarh, Kawardha and Mahasamund districts. RESOURCES Like the neighboring state of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh is also a resource rich state. It consists of three natural regions that are rich in minerals, forest produce as well as fertile alluvial plains. Although resource rich Chhattisgarh is home to large numbers of people who are among the poorest in the country. The gains of development and industrialization have gone to migrants and ‘skilled’ labour force from outside the state.
