Lucknow, June 15: The Uttar Pradesh administration is initiating a state-wide residential training program for academic resource persons from 58 districts to enhance the execution of the NIPUN Bharat Mission in primary schools.
The strategy focuses on reinforcing Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) alongside NCERT-based instructional methodologies across the regional school network.
Organized under the direction of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the initiative will prepare 232 selected trainers at the State Institute of Health and Family Welfare (SIHFW) in Lucknow. The training is scheduled to take place in three distinct phases between June 22 and July 10, 2026, creating a specialized group of Academic Resource Persons (ARPs) and District Institute for Education and Training (DIET) mentors.
These designated professionals will subsequently lead block-level workshops for thousands of primary school teachers and Shiksha Mitras during the 2026-27 academic session to standardize modern classroom practices.
Each participating district is required to nominate four resource persons, combining two ARPs and two DIET mentors. To ensure broad academic coverage, the regional teams must include subject specialists in Hindi, Mathematics, and English.
Education officials maintained that the overarching goal of the initiative is to shift the primary focus from basic infrastructural development toward measurable improvements in daily classroom teaching quality.
Department representatives asserted that the master trainers will ensure uniform implementation of activity-based learning, structured academic monitoring, and regular student assessments to help young learners successfully achieve foundational proficiency benchmarks across the state.
