Gujarat Launches Solar-Powered Mobile Classrooms for Children in Salt-Producing Regions
Gujarat launched the 'Ranshala' initiative, converting 28 retired state transport buses into solar-powered mobile classrooms to provide education to children of migrant Agariya families in Surendranagar, Patan, Kutch, and Morbi districts. Inaugurated by Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, these buses are equipped with televisions, Dish TV, and recreational facilities, aiming to address schooling disruptions caused by seasonal migration. The program coincides with the statewide 'Shala Praveshotsav' enrollment drive and represents a model for delivering education in remote salt-producing regions.
