As part of this initiative, 799 government schools across the state have been selected to be developed as model institutions in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Transformation of Government Schools
The School Education Department of Madhya Pradesh is working to transform these selected schools into inclusive, student-centric, and future-ready institutions. The initiative focuses on improving both academic standards and physical infrastructure to ensure a comprehensive learning environment for students from all backgrounds.

In line with the concept of green schools, sustainability measures such as the installation of solar panels, access to safe drinking water, and improved sanitation facilities have been implemented. These steps aim to promote environmental responsibility while ensuring healthy learning spaces.
Digital and ICT Integration
To strengthen digital learning, ICT labs, interactive smart panels, and digital libraries are being established in high schools and higher secondary schools. These initiatives are designed to boost digital literacy and align school education with emerging technological trends.
Focus on Holistic Student Development
