These schools promise to provide students with access to cutting-edge facilities and a transformed learning atmosphere, officials said.
Delhi govt has earmarked 75 schools for development under this initiative.
Introduced earlier this year in the 2025-26 Delhi budget, the programme focuses on converting govt schools into hubs of technology-enabled, advanced education in line with the National Education Policy 2020. "Modelled after the Centre's PM Shri Schools, these schools emphasise cultivating 21st-century competencies alongside promoting sustainability and eco-conscious practices," an official said.

"Most of the 75 designated schools are currently undergoing transformation with preparations advancing swiftly to meet the deadline."
Delhi govt allocated Rs 100 crore in its budget to establish and develop these institutions. Initially, 60 schools were announced in March, but the plan has since expanded to 75, with the goal of making all of them operational within a year. Their curriculum will align with the National Curriculum Framework 2023, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of today's learners.

CPI backs protest against transfer of APSRTC land to Lulu group
VIJAYAWADA: Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary K Ramakrishna has called on citizens to unite in opposing the transfer of public lands to private entities, particularly the lease of the APSRTC old bus stand (Governorpet depot) in Vijayawada to the Lulu Group. Speaking at a roundtable meeting held at Dasari Bhavan under the CPI city committee's leadership, Ramakrishna extended CPI's support to the Citizens' Forum protest scheduled for August 6. He criticised the State government's decision to lease 4.15 acres of the Vijayawada bus stand, valued at approximately Rs 400 crore in the open market, and 13.7 acres in Visakhapatnam to the multinational company for 99 years at a nominal rate. Ramakrishna demanded the immediate withdrawal of G.O. No. 137, calling the move exploitative and questioning the government's motives in transferring public assets to private players. Former Mayor Jandhyala Shankar said the lease violated Supreme Court rulings and must be reversed. YSRCP leader Malladi Vishnu, CPM's Donepudi Kashinath, and Congress city president Naraharisetti Narasimharao warned that the move could damage small businesses, increase unemployment, and cause environmental and traffic issues. The meeting concluded with a unanimous resolution demanding a halt to the land transfers and prioritising local business, environmental protection, and public interests over corporate expansion.

Delhi Assembly adopts E-Vidhan system, turns fully solar-powered ahead of Monsoon Session
NEW DELHI: A day ahead of the Monsoon Session, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Sunday inaugurated the E-Vidhan (paperless assembly) system and a 500 kW solar power plant at the Delhi Legislative Assembly Complex. With this, all legislative work in the Delhi Assembly will now be conducted digitally, enhancing the pace and quality of policymaking. The solar initiative is expected to generate savings of up to Rs 15 lakh per month, roughly Rs 1.75 crore annually, and is projected to recover its cost quickly while potentially generating surplus electricity through net metering. The E-Vidhan platform complements this transition by enabling a paperless legislative process, promoting administrative efficiency and cutting down the institution's carbon footprint. Speaking at the inauguration, Meghwal described the project as a model for sustainable governance across India. He said Delhi Assembly's complete shift to solar energy sets a benchmark for legislative and public institutions nationwide. Crediting the progress to PM Narendra Modi's leadership, he said, 'Sustainability, self-reliance, and digital empowerment are moving together.' He also announced the launch of NeVA (National e-Vidhan Application) at the Delhi Assembly under the 'One Nation, One Application' initiative of Digital India 2.0, stating that the move signifies not just an infrastructure upgrade, but a shift in institutional values. 'The full implementation of the E-Vidhan system in the Monsoon Session will mark the assembly's complete transition to paperless functioning,' he added.

'If a statue can enter, why not a living cow?': Shankaracharya criticises Parliament inauguration; seeks slaughter ban
NEW DELHI: Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand has said that a living cow should have been taken into the new Parliament building at Central Vista during its inauguration. "If a statue of a cow can enter Parliament, why can't a living cow be taken inside?" he told reporters on Sunday. He pointed out that the Sengol held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi while entering the new Parliament building had a cow engraved on it. "A real cow should have also been taken into the building to bestow blessings. If there is a delay, we will take cows from all over the country and bring them to Parliament," he said, adding that this would ensure the Prime Minister and the building receive blessings from a living cow. The Sengol is now installed in the Lok Sabha. The seer also urged the Maharashtra government to frame a protocol for cow felicitation. "The state has not yet declared how to honour the cow. It should finalise a protocol so that people can follow it, and also fix penalties for its violation," he said. He further demanded that each assembly constituency in India have a "Ramadham" — a cow shelter with 100 cows. "A total of 4,123 Ramadhams will be built across the country. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How to Ease Knee Pain Without Injections or Side Effects Read More Undo The shelters will focus on daily cow service, protection, and promoting indigenous breeds," he said. Those following the protocol while caring for cows would be financially rewarded. "A person taking care of 100 cows will receive Rs 2 lakh per month," he added. The Shankaracharya said the Dharma Sansad has passed a congratulatory resolution supporting Hoshangabad MP Darshan Singh Chowdhary's demand to declare the cow as Rashtramata (Mother of the Nation). He urged voters to back only those candidates who protect cows and work towards legislation in their favour. "The present regime has not yet satisfied us. Cow slaughter must be completely stopped in India," he said. On the language debate, he remarked, "Hindi was first recognised for administrative use. The Marathi-speaking state was formed in 1960, and Marathi was recognised later. Hindi represents several dialects — the same applies to Marathi, which has borrowed from its dialects." The seer said violence of any kind should be treated as a criminal offence and called for justice in the Malegaon blast case, stating that the real culprits must be punished. "It is ridiculous that the government is celebrating Amrit Kaal while cows who provide us with milk are being slaughtered. Those in government cannot be called our brothers unless they stand in support of cows," he added.
