To mark the 206th birth anniversary of Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, the education department has launched a special school inspection drive across the Dakshin Dinajpur district. Aimed at improving educational standards and embedding Vidyasagar’s ideals within school ecosystems, officials are conducting on-site visits to review the academic and structural conditions of regional institutions.
During the drive, key officials—including Ruhul Amin, Additional District Project Officer (Samagra Shiksha Mission), and Bharat Ghosh, Assistant Inspector of Schools (Secondary)—visited multiple campuses. Rather than restricting their duties to administrative paperwork and infrastructure checks, the inspecting officials actively engaged with students by stepping into classrooms to conduct teaching sessions.
The quality of the Mid-Day Meal scheme was a major focal point during the visits. In a hands-on approach to quality control, Assistant Inspector Bharat Ghosh sat alongside students to share their midday meal. This direct participation allowed officials to evaluate food safety, taste, and kitchen hygiene firsthand, alongside reviewing the overall academic environment and physical infrastructure of the schools.
The comprehensive initiative targets a vast educational network across the district, which comprises approximately 282 high schools, 1,196 primary schools, and several Shishu Shiksha Kendras (SSK) and Madhyamik Shiksha Kendras (MSK). District officials noted that these systematic inspections are designed to maintain high educational standards across all institutions.
Reflecting on the ongoing program, Assistant Inspector Bharat Ghosh stated that the joint inspection team has covered six schools so far. He highlighted that while the visits revealed many positive practices worthy of encouragement, they also identified areas needing improvement. He added that the department is actively providing guidance to help institutions overcome these operational and academic gaps.
