To tackle rising student dropout at the secondary level and to achieve 100% enrollment of children in schools, Uttar Pradesh state chief Yogi Adityanath launched the 'School Chalo Abhiyan' (Go to School campaign) last year.

Over 150,000 primary and upper primary school teachers in India's Uttar Pradesh state have been tasked to get 50 new and dropout students enrolled in schools that reopened from Monday after summer vacation.
The decision was made after officials found "unsatisfactory" results during the survey of 'School Chalo Abhiyan' (Go to School campaign), which aimed to increase new enrollments of non-school going/dropout students between grades five to eight in government schools.
The Director General of School Education (DGSE) Vijay Kiran Anand told Indian media that the teachers and admission officers have been asked to identify the non-school-going children in every block of the state and ensure their enrollment in the nearest government primary or upper primary school.
Anand has also instructed teachers to bring in professionalism as shown by their counterparts working in private schools and work hard to teach students and ensure their learning.
With an aim to make the 2023-24 session an ‘ideal session’, the director general urged the Divisional Assistant Director of Education (Basic) and District Basic Shiksha Adhikaris (BSAs) to make all efforts to ensure no child is left out of schools in every district.
