The CM SHRI Schools initiative is transforming how public education works in Delhi. Launched by the Delhi Government’s Directorate of Education (DoE), this model brings innovation, equity, and world-class facilities to government schools — bridging the gap between public and private education.
In line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, 75 schools across Delhi have been upgraded into CM SHRI Schools — short for Chief Minister Schools of High Excellence, Research, and Innovation.
These schools now represent a new standard in government education — combining smart infrastructure, skill-based learning, and inclusive access for every child.
What Are CM SHRI Schools?
CM SHRI Schools are part of Delhi’s effort to reimagine public education. The goal is not only to improve infrastructure but to reshape how students learn — through creativity, technology, and experiential learning.
Each CM SHRI School is equipped with:
- Smart classrooms and digital learning tools
- Robotics, science, and innovation labs
- Green, solar-powered campuses
- Barrier-free access and safety protocols
- NEP 2020-aligned multidisciplinary curriculum
“These schools are where public education meets innovation,” said a senior DoE official. “We’re building schools that prepare children not just for exams, but for life.”
