Nashik CEO Omkar Pawar Launches Online Student Interaction Drive

Nashik Zilla Parishad has launched a direct online interaction initiative under the 'Nipun Maharashtra' campaign for the 2026-27 academic year. The programme aims to ensure that every student achieves age-appropriate learning levels and that no child is left behind academically.

The initiative was launched by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Omkar Pawar, who interacted online with Class 3 students from Zilla Parishad Primary School (Girls), Ozar in Niphad taluka, and Zilla Parishad Primary School, Virgaon in Baglan taluka. During the session, he assessed students' reading skills, spelling, arithmetic and understanding of basic mathematical concepts.

The district administration has identified schools that showed lower performance in the March 2026 'Nipun Maharashtra' assessment and has begun regularly evaluating the academic progress of students in these schools to improve learning outcomes. Following the interaction, Pawar directed cluster heads, school principals and Block Education Officers to prepare and implement school-specific remedial plans to address the learning gaps identified during the assessment.

The CEO and senior officials from the Education Department will continue to conduct regular online interactions with students from schools across the district. Special academic interventions will be introduced in schools that require additional support. Education Officer Sailata Samleti said the campaign will focus on student-centric teaching methods, effective use of teaching-learning materials, continuous assessment and greater involvement of parents in the learning process.

Pawar said the Zilla Parishad is committed to ensuring quality education for every student. The administration, Education Department, teachers and parents must work together to strengthen students' academic foundation. Regular assessments and timely corrective measures will help improve learning outcomes.

The 'Nipun Maharashtra' campaign is a state-wide initiative aimed at improving foundational literacy and numeracy among students. The campaign has been launched to ensure that every student achieves age-appropriate learning levels and that no child is left behind academically.

The launch of the online interaction initiative also marked the launch of the 'Vidya Pravesh' programme. Representatives from the LFE organisation presented teacher-focused initiatives, while officials highlighted six key areas, including the use of the TEACH tool, strengthening PGI and UDISE systems, effective use of teaching-learning materials, creating print-rich classrooms and setting up reading corners in every school to improve the overall quality of education in the district.

The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the education sector in Nashik, with a focus on improving learning outcomes and ensuring that every student achieves age-appropriate learning levels. The Zilla Parishad's commitment to ensuring quality education for every student is a step in the right direction, and the online interaction initiative is a significant step towards achieving this goal.

In conclusion, the launch of the online interaction initiative under the 'Nipun Maharashtra' campaign is a significant step towards improving learning outcomes in Nashik. The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the education sector, and the Zilla Parishad's commitment to ensuring quality education for every student is a step in the right direction.
