Abstract

Education is not only a fundamental right but also a crucial vehicle for social transformation, economic development, and national integration. In a diverse and rapidly developing country like India, ensuring equitable access to quality education for all sections of society remains a paramount objective. The government, both at the central and state levels, has implemented numerous policies and schemes to improve the standard and reach of education. Among the most recent and impactful initiatives in the state of Chhattisgarh is the Swami Atmanand Government English Medium School (SAGES) scheme. Launched by the Government of Chhattisgarh in 2020, the SAGES initiative aims to revolutionize public education by providing high-quality English medium education free of cost to students from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
