Eight government schools in Delhi set for a makeover: to feature lifts, ACs, and smart labs—what is the budget allocation for each school?

Plans are underway to transform eight government schools in East Delhi. These schools will be equipped with modern facilities to provide students with an improved academic environment. To this end, the Public Works Department (PWD) has initiated a development and renovation project with an outlay exceeding Rs 22.50 crore. The project includes the installation of lifts, air-conditioning systems, modern laboratories, smart furniture, fire-fighting systems, and rooftop solar panels. Additionally, modern synthetic courts will be constructed to promote sports activities.

The project encompasses eight government schools in East Delhi, including 'CM Rise' (CM Shri) schools in IP Extension, Gandhi Nagar, and Surajmal Vihar, as well as schools located in Shakurpur, Chilla Gaon, Khichripur, Rajgarh Colony, and Vivek Vihar. Of the total budget, approximately Rs 13 crore is allocated for civil works, while Rs 9.50 crore will be spent on electrical installations and other modern amenities.

Development of Acrylic Synthetic Courts: The project integrates space for sports alongside academic facilities. Acrylic synthetic courts will be developed within the school premises.

These courts will be constructed in accordance with the standards set by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), providing students with an excellent space for sports practice right on the school campus.

Installation of Modular Furniture: Several upgrades are planned with the convenience of students and teachers in mind. Lifts will be installed to facilitate movement within multi-story buildings, and air-conditioning systems will be provided in classrooms and other designated areas. Modern laboratories will be set up to enhance science and computer education, and modular furniture will be installed for student seating. Furthermore, automatic fire-fighting systems will be implemented for safety, and solar panels will be installed on rooftops to reduce electricity consumption. Development works will be carried out in these eight schools. Approximately ₹1.90 crore will be spent on the Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalaya (RPVV)/School of Specialized Excellence (SoSE) in IP Extension; ₹3.17 crore on the Rajkiya Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya (RSKV) No. 2 in Shakurpur; ₹2.37 crore on the Government Co-ed Senior Secondary School in Chilla Village, Mayur Vihar Phase-1; and about ₹2.65 crore on the SoE/SoSE in Khichripur. Similarly, development works will be undertaken with an expenditure of ₹2.81 crore for the RPVV/SoSE in Gandhi Nagar, ₹3.98 crore for the RPVV/SoSE in Surajmal Vihar, ₹3.17 crore for the SBV in Rajgarh Colony, and approximately ₹2.42 crore for the GGSSS in Vivek Vihar Phase-2.
