PM Modi, on the occasion of Teacher’s Day, announced a new scheme — PM-SHRI Yojana to develop 14,500 schools as model schools.

PM SHRI Yojana stands for PM ScHools for Rising I

It will be a centrally sponsored scheme.

Those programmes that are implemented by the state government but funded by the federal government with a certain shareholding are known as centrally sponsored schemes (CSS).

• The schools will serve as model schools, highlight every aspect of the National Education Policy 2020, and mentor other schools in the area.
• The pedagogy used in these schools will be more inquiry-driven, learner-centered, discussion-based, play/toy-based (especially in the foundational years), experiential, holistic, integrated, and fun.
• The achievement of competence in learning outcomes for every kid in every grade will be the main focus.
• Assessments will be competency-based and based on conceptual comprehension as well as the application of knowledge to actual situations.
• These schools must also be constructed as green schools, with energy-efficient infrastructure, recycling of garbage, water conservation, and curricular integration of an organic lifestyle.
• These schools' objectives will include not only high-quality instruction, learning, and cognitive growth, but also the development of whole, well-rounded people who possess essential 21st-century skills.
