Beyond Headlines. The Complete Story.
Delhi is set to witness a major transformation in its school education infrastructure as the Delhi Government has approved a nearly ₹265-crore proposal to upgrade 75 CM Shri Schools across the capital. The proposal was cleared during the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
The ambitious project aims to provide students with safe, modern and inclusive learning environments. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the government’s objective is to ensure every child has access to clean, secure and well-equipped campuses that support both academic and extracurricular development. The entire project is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2027.
The comprehensive upgrade includes construction of new classrooms, repairs to ageing infrastructure, modern sports facilities, auditoriums, CCTV surveillance, parks and child-friendly amenities for students with special needs.
School entrances will be redesigned with modern gates displaying the new CM Shri logo alongside the school’s name. Extensive civil works will include waterproofing, painting, plaster repairs, boundary wall construction, upgraded toilets, clean drinking water facilities, improved sewerage and drainage systems, renovation of multipurpose halls, repair of rainwater harvesting systems and development of sports infrastructure wherever required.
The initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening Delhi’s public education system.
