Presiding over a review meeting, the CM said that concerted efforts need to be made for making Sri Dashmesh Academy as a premier institute at par with Doon and Sanawar schools.
Expressing satisfaction over the ongoing developments in the school, he said the day was not far when this prestigious Academy would soon emerge as one of the leading residential public schools in the country.
