More than 1,000 new schools and 29 degree colleges in rural areas had been opened by the Congress government in the last three-and-half years to provide qualitative education to students, especially females, near their homes.
Besides, 21 industrial training institutes (ITIs) and two engineering colleges were also opened during this period.
