Emphasizing the significance of these schools, the Deputy CM stated, “We are using every penny to improve the living conditions of people. These schools will provide education of international standards to children from poor, backward, and middle-class families.”
State-of-the-Art Facilities and Digital Education
The government plans to build these residential schools on 20 to 25 acres of land each, featuring:
- A modern sports complex for student development
- Teacher housing facilities for on-campus accommodation
- Digital education infrastructure aligned with global standards
