On September 7, 2022, the Cabinet approved a new Centrally Sponsored Programme called Pradhan Mantri Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI), to demonstrate the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and develop into exemplar schools over time and offer leadership to other schools in the area.
The scheme allows for the establishment of more than 14,500 PM SHRI Schools by enhancing the existing ones from among those run by the Central, state, and local governments.
More than 35 lakh students are being benefitted from the 6,207 schools selected in the first phase of PM SHRI School selection from 27 States and UTs, along with KVS and NVS.
