The Tripura government launched a scheme titled “Saharsh,” a particular state-run education programme that will encourage social and emotional learning at government schools of the state. State Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath launched this scheme at the inauguration event of the 49th state-level science, mathematics, and environment exhibition in Agartala. As per Indian Express, he stated that the “Saharsh initiative would help children learn with happiness and contribute to empathetic development of the state, nation and their own and “An education institution’s aim should be to create knowledge and spread it to the last person. In today’s time, the biggest challenge is to educate the heart and mind.
