The PM SHRI scheme aims to enhance educational quality, infrastructure, and student outcomes  in  PM  SHRI  schools.  Activities  such  as  Learning  Enrichment  Programs  (LEP)

focus on remedial teaching for students in classes 6-12, ensuring that all learners meet the required competency levels. Regular teacher capacity-building programs, including training of Principals, teachers,  and special educators,  are conducted to  enhance pedagogical skills. Competency-based assessments and the introduction of holistic report cards ensure a wellrounded evaluation of students. Programs like the Rashtriya Aavishkar Abhiyan encourage innovative  teaching  through  science  and  math  circles,  mentoring  by  eminent  experts,  and exposure visits to inspire interest in STEM education.

To enhance infrastructure,  PM  SHRI  Schools  are  equipped  with  science  labs,  ICTenabled smart  classrooms,  library,  furniture  and  playground.

PM SHRI Scheme focuses on holistic development to improve student outcomes in PM  SHRI  Schools.  Initiatives  include  providing  vocational  education  through  hands-on training,  resource  persons,  and  internships,  which  link  students  with  sector  skill  councils. Extracurricular  activities  like  nature  study  camps,  Olympiads,  and  exposure  visits  for students  enrich  the  learning  experience.  Sports  facilities  are  developed,  and  yoga/sports coaches are engaged to ensure physical well-being.
