Saharanpur (UP), Jul 1 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday launched the second phase of the statewide ‘School Chalo Abhiyan’ from here, officials said.

The first phase of the campaign was carried out across the state between April 1 and 15.
In the second phase, special emphasis will be placed on identifying out-of-school children, enrolling them in schools, bringing back dropout students, creating awareness among parents, and ensuring the active participation of public representatives, school management committees and the local communities.
