Delhi Government launches nation's first AI-driven education model with CM Shri Schools | Details
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan congratulated the Delhi government, noting that these schools set a benchmark for equitable, high-quality education, particularly for students from economically weaker, lower, and middle-income families.
The Delhi Government has taken a historic step in modernising school education with the launch of CM Shri Schools, the nation’s first AI-driven comprehensive education model. One of these schools was inaugurated on Tuesday by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta at Sarojini Nagar. The foundation stones for 75 such schools across the Capital were also laid.
This initiative aligns with the National Education Policy, aiming to provide students with technology-integrated, globally competitive education directly within government schools. CM Shri Schools are being developed as “Centres of Excellence”, offering modern infrastructure, skill development, career guidance, and holistic personality growth.
“These schools are not just new buildings, they represent our commitment to making Delhi’s children globally competitive,” said Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. AI-enabled smart classrooms, equipped with interactive panels, digital content, and advanced learning tools, will allow personalised education based on each student’s ability.
Opportunity for students to prepare for competitive exams
Students will also have access to a dedicated portal for competitive exams such as JEE, NEET, CUET, CLAT, and NDA, featuring online tests and progress tracking. Multi-sectoral skill labs will introduce robotics, artificial intelligence, design, and mechatronics, while ICT labs will enhance digital literacy, coding, and computational thinking. Digitised libraries and language labs will support multilingual education, foreign language learning, and preparation for higher studies or global careers.
CM Gupta highlighted the integration of industry-linked internships, ensuring practical exposure during school years, and the creation of spaces for mental well-being, moral education, and personality development. Play- and activity-based learning will also be prioritised for younger students.
