What Is the Main Objective of the 'Nav-Yatna' Magazine?

Encouraging Innovations: This magazine will prominently feature those successful and innovative teaching experiments adopted by headmasters and teachers of government schools that can serve as an 'Inspirational Model' for other institutions.
Co-curricular and Sports Achievements: Beyond textbook knowledge, the achievements of students excelling in sports, arts, science exhibitions, and other co-curricular activities will be given special space within the pages of the magazine.
Positive Message: To further strengthen the image of government schools in society and bring out the creativity hidden within teachers, this magazine will prove to be a milestone.

56 Block-Level Nodal Teachers: To collect excellent articles, success stories, and photographs from schools at the grassroots level, 56 block-level nodal teachers have been deployed. These nodal teachers will coordinate with schools in their respective allocated blocks and forward the best material to the editorial board.

To assess progress, all concerned editors and nodal teachers must mandatorily join regularly scheduled online meetings.
