Images of a well-maintained government primary school in Uttar Pradesh are being circulated<\/a> on social media. The name and address of the school \u2014 Prathmik Vidyalaya, Itayla Mafi \u2014 are visible in one of the images. Sharing the photos, many users have lamented the fact that the improved condition of government schools in Uttar Pradesh in the Yogi Adityanath regime has not made headlines in the international media. It is pertinent to note that the viral claims surfaced following a New York Times<\/a> report on August 16 on the AAP government’s efforts toward improving the standard of government schools in Delhi.<\/p>\n
