Summary:
Kolkata, Dec 6 (PTI) The SFI, the students" wing of the CPI(M), on Monday said it will launch a campaign for "zero dropouts" in schools and colleges as physical classes resumed in educational institutes in West Bengal.
Students Federation of India state unit president Srijan Bhattacharya said the campaign will begin this week in colleges and schools across various blocks of the state.
"Particularly in schools, there have been cases of dropouts - more among girls in the financially weaker section of the society and students belonging to minority and Dalit communities.
This trend emerged due to the closure of campuses in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There have been little attempts by the state administration and the ruling TMC to stop that.
Our volunteers and members will hit streets to launch the zero dropout campaign," he said.
