The Delhi government is likely to inaugurate its newly announced CM SHRI Schools in September, an official said, as preparations to operationalise the institutions gather pace.

The initiative, announced earlier this year, aims to offer high-quality, future-ready education in government schools. It is modelled after the Centre’s PM SHRI Schools and will follow the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The CM SHRI Schools will implement the National Curriculum Framework 2023.

Each school will be equipped with AI-enabled libraries, smart classrooms featuring augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tools, smartboards, biometric attendance systems and robotics laboratories to promote innovation among students.
