5.1.4 Improvement in Enrollment in NDMC / Navyug Schools
When the enrollment of students in Government schools is coming down
every year, the enrolment in NDMC / Navyug Schools has shown an
impressive growth during the last two academic years 2018-19 and 2017-2018
over the year 2016-17. The overall enrollment in NDMC/Navyug Schools in
2016-2017 was around 27,500 students, which has increased to around 30019
students in the year 2017-18 and around 30312 students in the year 2018 – 19.
With introduction of digital education in our schools and I hope that the
enrolment in NDMC/Navyug Schools is likely to further increase during the
year 2019-2020 due to excellent infrastructure, digital education, better sports
facilities, and improved quality of education.
