PM SHRI Schools: 9,000 schools from all across the nation have been shortlisted by the Ministry of Education for the flagship Pradhan Mantri Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI).

PM SHRI schools is a new centrally sponsored scheme that aims at developing more than 14500 schools across the country by strengthening select existing schools being managed by all forms of government. The PM SHRI schools will aim at delivering quality teaching for the cognitive development of students and creating and nurturing holistic and well-rounded individuals equipped with key 21st-century skills. However, seven states are yet to sign Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Education ministry to upgrade their schools under the PM-SHRI scheme that was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 5 last year.
The Centre has reached out to authorities in seven states and UTs, mainly Delhi, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Jharkhand, urging them to come forward and adopt the scheme and ensure quality education for all students. "In a letter to these concerned states and UTs, the Education minister has pointed out that effective implementation of this scheme will enable the depiction of all components of NEP to ensure quality education for our students and enable these PM SHRI schools represent as exemplary schools for quality education in the country," the official said.
