This programme has been launched in 25,000 primary and middle schools of the State.

All round development of school will be done by self evaluation and outside evaluation under the programme.

Network system has been established by the school education department for knowledge sharing between teachers and students. A hub portal has been prepared in which the most frequent questions asked by the students and their answers are included. Also, other utility site link facilities are provided in the portal. The portal is being made more informative on the basis of continuous suggestions.
