PM SHRI Schools

PM Shri School is a centrally sponsored scheme by the Government of India. The initiative aims to develop more than 14500 PM Shri Schools managed by Central Government/State/UT Government/Local bodies including KVS and NVS, where every student is welcomed and cared for, where a safe and inspiring learning environment exists, where a wide range of learning experiences are offered, and where good physical infrastructure and appropriate resources are available for learning for all students.

This will nurture students in such a way that they become engaged, productive and contributing citizens to build an equitable, inclusive and pluralistic society as envisaged by the National Education Policy 2020.

The direct beneficiaries of this scheme are expected to be more than 20 lakh students. The scheme will also promote understanding of various dimensions of quality of school education and inform policy, practice and implementation. Learnings from these schools will be extended to other schools in the country.

The scheme is proposed to be implemented over a period of 5 years. From 2022-23 to 2026-27.
