LUCKNOW, May 4 -- After increasing the honorarium of Shiksha Mitras, the state government has now started large-scale preparations to prioritise their recognition as well. Giving this initiative a statewide form, chief minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate a state-level programme in Gorakhpur on May 5. With a monthly honorarium of Rs.18,000, around 1.43 lakh Shiksha Mitras will be connected to this process. The objective is to send across a clear message that Shiksha Mitras who strengthen the foundation of the education system are now receiving proper recognition and support. Notably, Shiksha Mitras have already started receiving the increased honorarium from April, and on May 5, the CM will formally launch the initiative from Baba Gambhirnath Auditorium in Gorakhpur and also interact with them. Alongside the main event at 11 am, parallel programmes will be organised in all districts. The decision, taken for around 1.43 lakh Shiksha Mitras working in council primary schools, has now been fully implemented. Under this system, effective from April 1, as many as 13,597 Shiksha Mitras under basic education and 1,29,332 under Samagra Shiksha are being paid Rs.18,000 per month, strengthening their financial condition. The programme will be broadcast live on Doordarshan and on the chief minister's official social media handles. HTC...
