A report reveals that over 7 lakh children in Madhya Pradesh have no school records, with thousands of government schools seeing zero admissions. Data suggests a nationwide trend of declining government school enrollment and school closures, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities.
In December, Madhya Pradesh’s School Education Department found that 7.37 lakh children in the State have no school records at all. They are not enrolled in any school, private or government. Mostly from tribal-dominated districts, they are simply missing from the system.
