Additionally, the government will establish 175 new computer laboratories in Delhi’s government schools, in line with CBSE standards. This move, she said, is intended to bridge the digital divide and equip students with quality technical education.
“By enhancing tech infrastructure and providing modern tools, we are strengthening the Digital India mission at the grassroots,” Gupta added.
The scheme is expected to provide a strong foundation for students who wish to pursue science, technology, and digital learning, while promoting a culture of merit-based incentives in the public education system.
