Recent Developments

For the first time, Class 1 admission age was lowered from 6 to 5 years, aligning with the NEP 2020 foundational stage structure. Special focus on reducing girl-child dropouts and Class 1 transitions from Anganwadi.

Girls outperformed boys in Science (97.52%) and Arts (97.54%) in Class 12. Budget 2026-27 announced ₹20,000 e-vouchers for high-scoring students.

  • TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan 100-Day Campaign (March 24, 2026): Health Minister JP Nadda launched the campaign on World TB Day covering 1.58 lakh villages. India has achieved 21% TB incidence reduction since 2015; 32.65 lakh TB patients detected since December 2024 with 92% treatment coverage.

  • PM-VBRY launch (August 1, 2025): ₹99,446 crore employment-linked incentive scheme targeting 3.5 crore formal jobs. Rajasthan's organised sector workforce (1.43 crore e-Shram registered unorganised workers as baseline) stands to benefit.
