Cabinet clears PM-SHRI scheme to upgrade schools
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Union Cabinet has approved a Rs 27,360-crore scheme for the development of over 14,000 schools across the country as PM Schools for Rising India (PM-SHRI).
Under the scheme, over 14,000 schools, including Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas as well as schools run by state governments and local bodies, will be strengthened to emerge as PM-SHRI Schools.
The government expects this scheme to benefit 187 lakh students and these schools will be monitored to assess progress and understand the challenges faced in the implementation of the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the scheme on Teachers Day to upgrade and modernise existing schools from amongst those managed by the central and state governments, as well as local bodies. The total project cost would be Rs 27,360 crore for five years, of which the central share would be Rs 18,128 crore.
Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said, “PM SHRI will provide high-quality education in an equitable, inclusive and joyful school environment that takes care of the diverse background, multilingual needs, and different academic abilities of children and makes them active participants in their own learning process as per the vision of NEP 2020.”
He further said, “These schools will be developed as 'Green schools', incorporating environment-friendly aspects like solar panels and LED lights, nutrition gardens with natural farming, waste management and plastic free. A School Quality Assessment Framework (SQAF) is being developed, specifying the key performance indicators to measure outcomes. Quality evaluation of these schools at regular intervals will be undertaken to ensure the desired standards.”
