Raipur: President Pratibha Patil Saturday called for arrangements to be made in
Chhattisgarh for providing exclusive educational facilities for
tribal students from the kindergarten (KG) level to post-graduate
(PG) level.
"Why are tribal students neglected here, give the educational
facilities to them from KG to PG-level," the president remarked
while speaking at a function where she formally inaugurated a
state-of-the-art building of the Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC)
in heart of the city.
The president's exhortation came in the presence of Chief Minister
Raman Singh when her attention was drawn to the fact that not a
single tribal student has been presently enrolled in Bilaspur-based
Guru Ghasidas Central University in the state. She expressed
surprise about the information passed on to her by Vice Chancellor
Laxman Chaturvedi.
Patil concluded her two-day visit of Chhattisgarh Saturday. She
had addressed a special meet of the state assembly Friday where
she called upon Maoists to shun violence and enter into dialogue
with the government to ensure development of tribal people.
