With an aim to provide quality education to the students, libraries will also be set up at schools alongside other important amenities.
The State Minister of Education also said that the state is taking an initiative of connecting 178861 Basic School Teachers Certificate Course (BSTC) trained teachers to schools as a result of which various vacant posts have been filled.

Apparently this year the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Examination was more favorable for government schools as their results were better from that of private schools. This has boosted the morale of the government and it’s hopeful that efforts of the government education department are finally bearing fruits.
