Uttar Pradesh government's 'Project Alankar' is emerging as a role model for the entire country. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's initiative is now being appreciated and considered for implementation in several other states. Let us tell you what 'Project Alankar' is.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's scheme was launched to provide modern and quality facilities in government secondary schools. Positive results are now visible, and several other states are preparing to adopt this initiative.

What is ‘Project Alankar’?

‘Project Alankar’ was launched on 1 October 2021. The main objective of this scheme is to equip approximately 2450 government secondary schools in the state with modern facilities. Under this project, schools are being provided with basic amenities such as smart classrooms, labs, libraries, computer labs, clean water, toilets, and robust buildings.

Significantly, this scheme is not limited to urban areas but also extends to schools in rural and remote areas. This is providing quality education to children in those regions.

Benefits of ‘Project Alankar’

Project Alankar is monitored by the district administration and the education department. According to government figures, the implementation of the scheme is rapidly transforming the landscape of government schools in the state. According to the 2024 annual education report, enrollment in secondary schools in the state has increased by 23 percent. Along with this, attendance in primary schools increased by 11.5 percent and in upper primary schools by 9.6 percent, the highest in the country.

Furthermore, this government initiative has also reached Sanskrit education. Under Project Alankar, 11 Sanskrit schools in 7 districts of the state have been equipped with high-tech facilities, and ₹14.94 crore has been released for the rejuvenation of 141 Sanskrit schools. The government is also establishing Chief Minister Model Schools (pre-primary to class 12) and Chief Minister Abhyudaya Schools (pre-primary to class 8), with ₹1.42 crore allocated per Abhyudaya school.

Praised by Chief Ministers of Several States

Recently, at a meeting of NDA-ruled states chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath presented this scheme. Chief Ministers from several states openly appreciated the scheme and expressed their desire to implement it in their respective states.
