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."
