Raman Singh, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister on Friday said that the government is working to strengthen education in the backward and the Naxal-hit areas of the state.

"We have introduced the Porta-Cabins in the Naxal-hit areas, in place of the school that was destructed by them. We have increased the count of schools. We have now reached the interior part of the Naxal-hit area and will soon train them and will try to bring to school," Raman Singh said.

"The kind of enthusiasm that is there in the people and the way the literacy rate has increased in the state, we will now try to reach up to the mark of the national literacy rate. By literacy, we also mean that a person should be digitally-literate," he said.

The Human Resource Minister Prakash Javadekar said " Raman Singh is the hero of Chhattisgarh. Whenever I visit this state, I get to see a different kind of energy. Large numbers of students are clearing the entrance test of the IITs, the IIMs and the civil services, which is an incredible change,"
