The Tribal Development Department in Nashik has completed a one-day verification drive to confirm student enrolment and attendance in 1,058 ashram schools across Maharashtra. This campaign, planned under the direction of the Tribal Development Commissionerate, encompassed 500 government and 558 aided ashram schools. The initiative was initiated in coordination with the student census, which concludes on September 30, 2026.
Leena Bansod, the Tribal Development Commissioner, emphasized the importance of this verification in ensuring the quality of education provided to these students. Additional Commissioners and Project Officers assigned inspection officers to visit the ashram schools within their respective regions. These officers carried out a systematic count of students, class-wise and batch-wise, in both government and aided ashram schools.
They also confirmed whether each student was accurately registered in the school's general register.
During the verification process, each student was required to stand and state their full name. The inspection officers cross-checked the student's presence against the class attendance register and ensured the register entries aligned with the actual attendance. All these records were completed in the presence of teachers and other relevant staff.
To enhance transparency, officials marked the right index finger of each student with a blue ink marker. This step was taken to prevent any possibility of double-counting any student.
The officials made a concerted effort to ensure that no student was overlooked or counted more than once. They meticulously recorded the details of students who were absent during the verification. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a clear picture of the student records in ashram schools, thereby enabling more effective educational management.
Bansod highlighted that the educational interests of the students are of the utmost priority, and it is crucial to determine their exact number and attendance to ensure they receive quality education and the necessary educational facilities.
