The scope of PM SHRI schools has been expanded from a 1 km to a 5 km radius, benefiting around 585 government schools across Karnataka. These schools will not merge but will receive the same grants and infrastructure upgrades as PM SHRI schools, including smart classrooms, science labs, and recruitment of specialized teachers for yoga, computers, and music. In Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, several primary and high schools are being proposed for this expansion to improve educational quality. https://udayavani.com/district-news/extension-of-pmshri-inclusion-coverage-to-5-km-427594 #creator program
