Namrata Jain, currently serving as the Collector of Narayanpur in Chhattisgarh, has garnered praise for her initiative, 'School Keinta' (meaning 'School is Calling'), aimed at providing education to children in the remote and conflict-affected region of Abujhmaad. Through a comprehensive door-to-door survey covering 22,364 households, Jain's administration identified 2,965 out-of-school children. In response, they reopened 10 schools, established 24 new primary schools, and enrolled over 800 children in formal education. One of the most significant moments was when 25 children in Kodenar village sang the National Anthem for the first time at their school. Jain's commitment extends beyond education; she actively engages with tribal communities to ensure governance reaches those in need.
