Chandigarh, August 20 : With 11 more blocks in Haryana having been declared “Saksham” (capable) for achieving grade-level competencies by the Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal, taking the tally to 18, and 13 more blocks inching pretty close to achieving the tag, things have begun to look up in government schools across the state.
Making the announcement on these 11 blocks, the Chief Minister said the state-wide campaign being run by his office in co-operation with the Education Department to improve the quality of education in schools had begun to show results. It aims to enhance the learning level of students of government schools and to ensure they have the knowledge of subjects as per their age group.
The blocks declared Saksham are Karnal (Karnal), Dadri (Charkhi Dadri), Nahar (Rewari), Lakhan Majra (Rohtak), Bahadurgarh (Jhajjar), Farukhnagar (Gurugram), Gurgaon (Gurugram), Kanina (Mahendragarh), Nangal Choudhary (Mahendragarh) Rajaund (Kaithal) and Samalkha (Panipat).
Mr Manohar Lal said earlier seven blocks had been declared Saksham in the first three rounds. As many as 13 blocks are very close to becoming Saksham. The aim is to make the whole of Haryana Saksham soon, he added.
Detailing broad contours of the campaign, the Haryana Education Minister, Mr Ram Bilas Sharma, said under the Saksham campaign various initiatives were being implemented, including focus on remedial education through learning enhancement programme, improving SAT results by reducing cheating, improving data collection and data analysis, strengthening the review and monitoring mechanism, facilitating macro (district) and micro (block) planning and implementation through Saksham Plans and improving technology systems (Management Information System, Academic Monitoring System) of the Education Department.
The decision and assessment of a particular block to be Saksham is taken by third party (Hyderabad-based Gray Matters India). If a block feels that 80 per cent of its students have achieved grade level competency, it nominates itself under ‘Saksham Ghoshana’, which is then assessed by third party. It includes assessment of students of Grade 3, 5 and 7 in Hindi language and mathematics. The latest round of assessment was done on August 3 in which 23 blocks participated from 17 districts, Mr Sharma added.

The text of the joint statement :
“We, the Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and the senior officers representing Rajasthan, Delhi and UT of Chandigarh are happy to have had an extremely constructive meeting on effectively addressing and countering the drug menace. We shared our experiences so far in our State specific battles against drugs and recognized our common concern for developing strategies and actions that our Governments can take to protect our youth, children and the next generations from the harm of drugs. This first meeting of its kind was held in a businesslike and constructive manner. We agreed to meet every six months to review progress on various action points on three dimensions agreed upon in today’s meeting. We also agreed to invite the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and senior officers of Jammu & Kashmir in future.
On the Enforcement side we agreed on the need for more proactive and quick information exchange on drug trends, cases registered, persons named, wanted or arrested beginning from today. We hope to “deliver as one” with the full might of the law in a crusade like manner to break and demolish the supply chains. We agreed on setting up of a Permanent Secretariat for this in Panchkula. We also agreed that there would be monthly meeting of our Special Task Forces and quarterly meetings at the level of Home Secretaries to build interagency trust. We also agreed on regular meetings at the level of DCs and SPs.
On the Preventive side we agreed on the need for a multidisciplinary approach that puts our boys and girls at the centre of our joint response. Those who are the most vulnerable whether in schools, colleges, universities, their residential buildings or outside deserve our special attention. To ensure that no child ever falls prey to pessimism we shall undertake concerted efforts at engagement and awareness generation by various Departments including those of Education, Health, Skill Development alongwith non-governments and community organizations. It would be very important to harness the powers of social media in enabling our youth to emphatically say NO to drugs.
On the De addiction side we agreed to invest more resources in setting up of more centres and strengthening the existing ones whether in the public or private sector. We agreed to go in for intensive identification of “at high risk” individuals and addicts and their prompt medical treatment. We agreed to strengthen the work at the grass roots through use of all possible technologies to make more and more of our villages, mohallas and cities drugs free.”
