9th All India National Educational Federation Conference – Promoting Cultural Nationalism, Instilling Patriotism and Values in Youth, Ensuring Quality Education for the Underprivileged: CM Bhajanlal Sharma

Jaipur, Oct 2025: Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that teachers are carriers of knowledge who shape the future of the nation. Their education empowers society and makes it self-reliant. He emphasized that teachers associated with the All India National Educational Federation (ABRSM) play a vital role in keeping India a global leader in knowledge, culturally rich, morally strong, and exemplary in character.

Addressing the inaugural session of the 9th Conference of ABRSM at Keshav Vidyapeeth, Jamdoli, Jaipur, CM Sharma said that the federation, established in 1988, embodies the principle of “Education for the nation, teachers for education, and society for teachers.”

Promoting Cultural Nationalism and Character Building:
The Chief Minister highlighted that the federation has effectively promoted cultural nationalism and the spirit of Indian philosophy in society. Teachers affiliated with the organization, from pre-primary to university level, are fostering patriotism and moral values in students, creating well-rounded and disciplined youth.

Transparency in Examination System:
CM Sharma noted that the state government has undertaken historic reforms in education, ensuring transparency in examinations, unlike the previous government, which was plagued by paper leaks. The government is working to provide 400,000 government jobs over five years, with approximately 91,000 youth already employed.

Support for Underprivileged Students:
The state has waived tuition fees for children of small, marginal, sharecropping farmers and agricultural laborers for the 2024-25 session in government colleges. Additional scholarships and provisions have been made to empower disadvantaged students and provide quality education to all sections of society.

Language Schools and Global Employment Opportunities:
The government plans to establish language schools in the state to provide youth with opportunities for overseas employment, with examinations for foreign languages conducted locally. CM Sharma also highlighted initiatives like distributing 1,051,000 bicycles and providing 88,724 tablets with internet connectivity to meritorious students to enhance their skills.

Remarks by Other Dignitaries:
Deputy CM Dr. Premchand Bairwa noted that federation teachers are dedicated to nation-building, guiding society from darkness to light. School Education Minister Madan Dilawar highlighted that Rajasthan’s education ranking improved from 11th to 3rd under the current government, with government schools providing quality education on par with private institutions.

National President of the federation, Prof. Narayan Lal Gupta, praised the organization for its significant role in education, society, and nation-building, bringing positive change across communities.
