Seeing the good perception of the local community towards the schools, the government decided to develop 679 primary and upper primary schools as centers of excellence in education. From sitting in the classrooms, all other necessary facilities will be available to the students studying in these schools.
New classrooms can be constructed in the school buildings. These 679 schools of the state will be gifted with many physical resources and facilities within a radius of five km.
