New Delhi, February 17 – Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the CM Shri School in Sarojini Nagar on Tuesday, highlighting the government’s aim to create an education system that prepares children not only for examinations, but also for life.
The event also saw the laying of foundation stones for 75 CM Shri School projects across the Capital.
An official stated that this initiative of the Delhi Government has been launched in accordance with the National Education Policy to provide modern, technology-integrated, and improved education.
Pradhan congratulated the Chief Minister, stating that within a year, the government has made commendable progress towards fulfilling its commitments in the field of education.
He noted that hundreds of thousands of students are pursuing education in Delhi, and it is the government’s responsibility to effectively implement the National Education Policy.
He expressed confidence that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Delhi government will continue to play an active role in advancing school education, higher education, and research-oriented learning in the country.
Chief Minister Gupta said that CM Shri Schools are not merely new buildings, but an initiative to make Delhi’s children globally competitive.
The Chief Minister informed that smart classrooms equipped with interactive panels, digital learning content, and modern learning tools are being established in these schools. This will enable personalized learning according to each student's ability.
A dedicated portal has also been developed for preparation for competitive examinations such as JEE, NEET, CUET, CLAT, and NDA, featuring regular online tests and progress tracking.
Chief Minister Gupta stated that multi-sectoral skill labs will introduce students at an early stage to subjects such as robotics, artificial intelligence, design, and mechatronics, helping them secure employment or start their own ventures in the future.
Special ICT labs will provide training in digital literacy, coding, and computational thinking. Digitized libraries will offer e-books, research material, and resources for competitive examinations, she said.
Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood described the establishment of 75 CM Shri Schools as a significant achievement and said that by developing them as institutions of high standards, the Delhi Government has set an example.
These schools will provide children from economically weaker, lower, and middle-income families with modern facilities and technologically advanced education comparable to private schools, he said.
The Chief Minister said that career labs will assess students’ interests and aptitudes, providing appropriate guidance for higher studies, skill development, and employment.
‘Science of Living’ spaces will focus on mental well-being, moral education, and personality development to ensure students grow with confidence and strong values, she said.
The Chief Minister stated that such an education model has not been implemented in this manner in any other state.
With the integration of AI and technology-driven learning, multilingual education, and structured industry engagement through internships, the schools aim not only to secure high board examination results but also to facilitate admissions into IITs, medical colleges, and foreign universities.
