Under the Scheme, over 14,500 schools will be established across the country as PM SHRI Schools which will showcase the implementation of NEP 2020 and emerge as exemplary schools over a period of time. It aims to create and nurture holistic and well-rounded individuals equipped with key 21st century skills.

In Nagaland, so far 27 Government schools have been selected as PM SHRI Schools.
