Haryana’s Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda has announced that the Haryana government will soon introduce CM Shri Schools across the state, drawing inspiration from the Centre’s PM Shri Schools initiative. The proposed institutions will adopt the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum pattern, aiming to strengthen academic standards and modernise school education in Haryana.
The announcement was made during the Budget Session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, where the minister was responding to a query raised by a member of the House.
Highlighting the state’s commitment to inclusive education, Mahipal Dhanda said the Education Department has earmarked 25 percent seats at the entry level in private schools for children from Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Disadvantaged Groups (DG). This provision is being implemented under the framework of the Right to Education (RTE) Act to ensure equitable access to quality schooling.

Sharing recent data, the minister revealed that in the previous academic session, 14,127 applications were submitted for admissions in private schools under the RTE quota. Of these, 11,803 eligible students were successfully allotted seats, reflecting steady progress in expanding educational opportunities for underprivileged children.
The state government’s twin focus on launching CM Shri Schools and strengthening RTE implementation underscores Haryana’s push towards accessible, standardised, and quality-driven education.
