Zero-budget ‘Gyan Sabha’ transforms morning assemblies into knowledge hubs at government schools in Bilaspur
RAIPUR: Across government schools in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur district, about 100 km from the state capital, morning assemblies are no longer limited to roll calls and traditional prayers.
From this Teacher’s Day (September 5), the opening bell has also become a time for curiosity, critical thinking, and learning about world affairs through an innovative, district-wide initiative called ‘Gyan Sabha: Daily General Knowledge Series’.
What makes the initiative even remarkable is that it operates entirely on a zero-budget model. It aims to move students away from rote learning and encourage curiosity and competitive awareness in Bilaspur’s classrooms.
