Under the PM SHRI scheme, government schools are undergoing a significant transformation, aiming to become modern and high-quality educational institutions. Students in these schools now benefit from smart classrooms, advanced laboratories, digital boards, improved libraries, clean facilities, and safe environments. Teachers are also receiving training in new technologies and teaching methods to enhance the quality of education for children.
The initiative is aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, emphasizing creative thinking, skill development, digital learning, and self-reliance among students. PM Shri Azad High School in Ranchi, catering to a minority population, exemplifies the government’s commitment to providing quality education to all. Both teachers and students at this school have reported notable improvements in the educational atmosphere, leading to enhanced attendance, interest, and confidence among students.
The PM SHRI School initiative, a centrally-sponsored scheme by the Government of India, aims to establish over 14,500 schools nationwide managed by various government bodies. The focus is on creating inclusive and stimulating learning environments with adequate infrastructure and resources for all students. The scheme seeks to nurture students to become active and responsible citizens, in line with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020.
Students at PM SHRI Azad High School, such as Aslan Alam, have highlighted the positive changes brought about by the scheme, including upgraded facilities and increased teacher availability. Other students, like Khurshid Ahmed and Muhammad Javed, echoed similar sentiments about the school’s noticeable improvements. Teachers, too, have witnessed significant developments since the school’s inclusion in the PM SHRI scheme, with enhancements in facilities and resources contributing to a better learning environment.
