On Monday, the CM was amused to see little Vachi (5) sitting among those who had arrived to seek his help. While going through her application, he lightly asked her: "So, you don't want to go to school?" To which Vachi promptly replied, "No, I do want to! Please help me get admitted." When he asked about the class she was seeking admission to, she innocently said, "Oh, I don't know the name." Her candid response drew smiles all around.
Moved by the appeal, the CM handed over her application to principal secretary (Home) Sanjay Prasad advising him to ensure the girl's admission. By afternoon, Vachi was granted admission by the school, which promptly informed the dist's BSA of the development.
Amit and Vachi expressed heartfelt gratitude to CM Yogi
Amit Kumar of Moradabad had been tirelessly seeking admission for Vachi, at CL Gupta World School under RTE. His efforts finally bore fruit on Monday when he met the chief minister during Janta Darshan in Lucknow.
Amit, who drives a Rapido bike taxi to support his family, had come to the CM's residence with his wife, Prachi, and daughters, Vachi and Aachi, in hopes of finding a solution.
After they met with the CM, the family headed to Lucknow railway station to return home when, at 3pm, they received the joyous news of Vachi's admission.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Amit and Prachi expressed heartfelt gratitude to CM Yogi Adityanath. 'We are speechless. The CM didn't just listen to us, he acted like a true guardian of the people. Under his leadership, daughters in Uttar Pradesh are growing up with dignity and respect.'
When asked who she had met, Vachi said, 'I met Yogi ji. I told him to get me admitted to school, and he said he would. He even gave me biscuits and chocolates.'

Delhi Govt To Hold Entrance Test For Admission To 33 CM SHRI Schools For Classes 6 To 8
Last Updated: The Delhi government will conduct an entrance test for Class 6 to 8 admissions in 33 CM SHRI schools, with applications open until August 15. The Delhi government has announced that an entrance examination will be conducted for admissions to Classes 6 to 8 in 33 of the 75 newly shortlisted CM SHRI schools for the academic session 2025–26. The Directorate of Education (DoE) has issued detailed guidelines and named the entrance exam the CM SHRI Schools Admission Test 2025. The CM SHRI schools, which have been designated as 'Specified Category' institutions under Section 2 of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009, aim to transform existing government schools into model institutions. These schools will incorporate modern infrastructure and innovative teaching methods aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. According to the DoE guidelines, the admission test will follow a 'fair, transparent and merit-based selection process." Only students currently residing in Delhi and enrolled in Classes 6, 7 or 8 in any recognised Delhi-based school during the 2025–26 session will be eligible to apply. At least 50 per cent of the total seats in each CM SHRI school will be reserved for students enrolled in government or government-aided schools in Delhi, including institutions under the DoE, MCD, NDMC, Kendriya Vidyalayas, and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas. The application process for the entrance test will be conducted online. The registration window will open on July 30 and remain active until August 15. Admit cards for eligible candidates will be released on August 23, while the entrance test is scheduled to be held on August 30 from 11 am to 1:30 pm. As per the guidelines, the test will be an OMR-based, objective-type examination with no provision for negative marking. It will be conducted in both Hindi and English and will assess candidates across five sections: Hindi, English, General Awareness, Mental Ability, and Numerical Aptitude. The total duration of the exam will be 150 minutes, with additional time allotted for CWSN candidates as per prevailing norms. The results of the entrance test will be declared on September 10, and all admissions will be finalised by September 15. The DoE has also confirmed that test centres will be established across various schools under its jurisdiction to ensure easy accessibility for students from all parts of the city. The CM SHRI schools are expected to be inaugurated in September, an official said, as preparations for their operationalisation are underway. The initiative, announced earlier this year, aims to provide 'high-quality, future-ready education" in Delhi's government schools. Earlier, Education Minister Ashish Sood had said that the government had provisionally shortlisted 75 schools to be developed under the CM SHRI scheme. Modelled after the Centre's PM SHRI schools, these institutions will follow the NEP 2020 and implement the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023. Officials added that these schools are being built with an emphasis on sustainability, designed to operate as zero-waste and solar-powered campuses. They will feature AI-enabled libraries, smart classrooms equipped with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tools, biometric attendance systems, smartboards, and robotics laboratories to foster innovation and creativity among students. In another major shift, the Delhi government is phasing out the Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE). All schools currently affiliated with DBSE will now be transitioned to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had earmarked ₹100 crore for the development of CM SHRI schools in her budget speech earlier this year. Stay updated with the latest education!
