Saharanpur’s Education Crisis: From Crumbling Schools to Ghost Teachers – Time for Change!

Saharanpur district faces critical education challenges including deteriorating government school infrastructure, high teacher absenteeism, lack of basic facilities like toilets and drinking water, poor mid-day meal quality, inadequate digital infrastructure, high dropout rates especially among girls, shortage of qualified teachers, and corruption in scholarship distributions. Implement mandatory biometric attendance for teachers, establish parent-teacher committees for school monitoring, upgrade infrastructure through public-private partnerships, introduce digital classrooms with proper internet connectivity, create scholarship transparency portals, launch girls’ education incentive programs, and conduct regular surprise inspections of schools and mid-day meal quality.
