PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) | Do visit one near you.

PM SHRI (Schools for Rising India) scheme is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) to improve school infrastructure in primary and composite government schools. All schools benefitting from PM SHRI scheme are called **PM SHRI Vidyalayas** so that parents and guardians can easily identify them and send their wards. Thousands of school in country have been improved and renamed to PM SHRI Vidyalayas. There is a standard template for the design of their school gates, and fonts used for writing school name also. It's like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yoajana (PMGSY) started in 2000. Many PMs have changed but the scheme remains same. It doesn't carry the name of any particular PM. I am the mentor to PM SHRI schools in my district. And **I would encourage all of you to kindly visit a PM SHRI school near you.** Each UP district has been allocated more than 15 PM SHRI schools. So there would definitely be one within your 5km radius. You would be amazed at the kind of improvement they have seen in the past one year. There is so much rush for admission to some PM SHRI schools that they have to organize a district level entrance test for admission to class 1 and 5! Yes, like Sainik Schools and Navodayas. Some PM SHRI schools are running at 3x capacity! PM SHRI schools actually have working Robotics and IT labs. I have given lecture on Python programming to 8th grade students at a PM SHRI school in Amroha. AK
