Mission Kayakalp: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that the Delhi government has launched ‘Mission Kayakalp’ with the objective of transforming government schools into safe, clean, modern and inspiring learning spaces for children, rather than limiting them to being centres of education alone.
According to a press release by the Delhi Chief Minister’s Office, under this initiative, extensive infrastructure improvement works are being carried out in selected government schools across different districts of the capital to strengthen school infrastructure and provide students with better facilities.
The chief minister said that Mission Kayakalp is being implemented with the support of district administrations; the Education Department; organisations contributing through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); social organisations; market associations; and local communities, as per a report by the Asian News International (ANI).
She said that along with government resources, public participation is helping bring about rapid and positive changes in schools, making the initiative an effective example of community participation in education. Visible improvements are already taking shape in government schools across Delhi under Mission Kayakalp, the ANI report added.
In a social media post on May 29, Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood said that the work on modernisation and infrastructure upgrades in the capital’s government schools is proceeding rapidly under the ‘Mission Kayakalp Vidyalaya Yojana’.
The face of these schools is being transformed with better classrooms, improved cleanliness, drinking water facilities, and modern amenities, he added.
