Education dept campaign to boost enrolments in govt schools
Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
The department has instructed district collectors and district education officers (DEOs) across the state to organise a 10-day 'Badi-Bata' campaign, starting from June 6. Teachers and principals will visit residential colonies within their respective school limits to interact directly with school-age children and their parents, and encourage them to opt for govt school education.
The new academic year is set to begin on June 12, and officials are working on a war footing to ensure readiness.
As part of the campaign, the academic performance of class 10 students from each school in the district will be showcased through large flex banners and posters, highlighting success stories to position govt schools as competitive alternatives to private institutions.
A special focus is being given on bringing back school dropouts. Officials are devising strategies to sensitise parents about the legal consequences of child labour and the importance of education.
Specific measures are also being implemented to ensure the enrolment of children belonging to migrant labour families near their current locations.
Daily reports on the progress of the school walk campaign are being compiled by mandal education officers and DEOs and forwarded to the state education department for monitoring.
Meanwhile, preparations for school reopening are in full swing. Authorities in NTR, Krishna, and Guntur districts have already distributed essential school kits, including textbooks, notebooks, uniforms, shoes, and workbooks, to ensure students are fully equipped from their first day.

Nara Smith Shares Throwback Photo of Curls Before 'Severe Eczema' Caused Her to Lose Her Hair
Nara Smith has been transparent about her struggles with her eczema over the years On June 3, she posted a photo of her curly hair before losing a lot of it to eczema Nara documented her symptoms during flare-ups on Instagram in DecemberNara Smith is sharing more about her struggle with "severe eczema." The 23-year-old influencer continues to document her ongoing struggle with eczema over the years. On July 3, Nara shared a throwback photo with her husband, Lucky Blue Smith, and herself with curly hair on her Instagram stories. She added the text, saying 'My hair before getting severe eczema on my scalp which caused me to [lose] a lot of hair…' This isn't the first time the mother of three has opened up about her struggle with eczema. On December 10, 2024, through an Instagram post, Nara detailed her journey with eczema and eventually Lupus after she made known that bad flare-ups were in part the reason why she notably started making food from scratch. The carousel that she posted in December featured a picture of her dry and itchy scalp. "It's been about 3 years since my eczema started flaring up severely," Nara began her lengthy caption alongside a carousel of images showing her flare-ups. "I had just given birth to my second child. It started off as a small cracked patch of dry skin that I just moisturized and ignored." "My eczema spread rapidly starting on the palms of my hands and making its way onto my back, arms, scalp and eventually my face. I felt exhausted and my body ached so bad that on some days I couldn't move or hold my babies," she continued. Nara is the mother of three kids: Rumble Honey, Slim Easy and Whimsy Lou. She shares them with Lucky, 27, whom she wed in February 2020. Nara announced on June 8 that she and Lucky are expecting their fourth child. "As time went on my hair fell out in clumps and I could never shake this lingering cold feeling I felt in my body," she continued in the post from December. "I spend nights researching eczema since I thought that's all I had. I drastically changed my diet (cutting out grains, dairy, sugar) making food from scratch and swapped out all my products for more natural options." Nara has since become synonymous with her cooking videos on TikTok, often recreating conventional dishes from scratch while explaining the process in ASMR style. "I would go through phases of it healing (never fully clearing up) and then flaring up. I saw multiple [dermatologists] and always got the same answer: severe eczema. I got sent home defeated, not listened to and with a paper bag full of steroid creams," she continued. Nara said that she was "struggling and [overanalyzing] everything" she put in her body for two years, causing her "biggest flareup" which then led "to a severe infection." She detailed, "Every part of my body was covered in inflamed, oozing, itchy and swollen skin."

"I woke up with my eyes swollen shut and my hands not functioning. I stopped eating completely, l paralyzed by the fear of making it worse," she revealed, noting that she fell into "a state of depression" which inspired her to seek help internationally. "I got on a flight to Germany seeking help from naturopaths, doctors and other specialists and finally got a diagnosis: Lupus," the model recalled. She compared the answer to a puzzle where "all the pieces fell into place" and all of her "symptoms made sense." "From my purple hands that felt frozen, to my extreme fatigue, my hair loss and sores. It all made sense now,' she explained, adding she 'felt relieved' because she 'finally had an answer but I was equally scared of what this meant for my life and my kids." Nara admitted it's been "a learning curve" and she's still "learning" to adjust each day. "I'm sharing this in the hopes of giving someone hope, comfort or the strength to keep pushing when things get really hard and lonely," she concluded her post. Read the original article on People
