MP Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav announced this initiative to support students receiving free education under the provisions of the RTE Act. The Madhya Pradesh government has transferred Rs 502 crore as fee reimbursement to 20,456 schools under the Right to Education (RTE) scheme.
School Education Minister Uday Pratap Singh, local public representatives, students were also expected to attend the programme. The reimbursement is transferred directly to the school, rather than to the students. The newly constructed school building provides a range of modern facilities which goes beyond the normal classroom learning and focuses on more practical education and extracurricular activities. Some of the key facilities include modern science laboratory, library, transport facilities, digital classroom, computer lab and more.
Under the RTE Act, eligible students falling under these sections are provided free admission to the private schools from class 1 to 8 without bearing the prescribed tuition cost.
