The Chhattisgarh government has decided to open 32 Swami Atmanand Government Hindi Medium Schools for the academic year 2022-23 on the lines of the English medium ones, an official said on Thursday.

As per an official statement, the state government plans to open at least one such Hindi medium school in each district similar to the Swami Atmanand Government English Medium Schools (SAGES).
