Manish Sisodia introduces 'Parents Samvad' programme in Delhi government schools

The launch event was conducted at the launch event at Tyagraj stadium and the same was broadcast live at the official Twitter handle of the minister.

October 28, 2021, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia launched "Parents Samvad", an outreach programme for parents of the government school children of the National Capital. While launching the programme, the minister, during the live session stated that over 18 lakh parents will be connected on a one-to-one basis under the programme called "Parents Samvad: lets talk to parents".

The launch event was conducted at the launch event at Tyagraj stadium and the same was broadcast live at the official Twitter handle of the minister. "There are two kinds of parenting that are common here, which is either zero parenting or over-parenting, and both of them are harmful for the overall development of the child. Either parent become bosses for children trying to instruct them rather than guiding or the new generation parents try to become friends, but children need just parents not bosses or friends. There are separate people to play those roles in their lives," Sisodia said.

"During the programme, our 'school mitras' will connect with over 18 lakh parents one-to-one basis," he added. In order to bridge the gap between School Management Committees (SMCs) and parents, Delhi government schools will seek help from volunteer parents, who will be called 'school mitras'. According to the earlier reports, the government took this initiative following observations made in a recently released report by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) that despite the active involvement of the SMCs in the schools, 63 per cent of parents of the students going to government schools in Delhi do not know about the existence of SMCs.
