MP Schools: Jan Vishwas Drive Triggers Scramble To Identify Infrastructure Gaps

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The Jan Vishwas Abhiyan, launched by the Chief Minister, has prompted the School Education Department to intensify its efforts to pinpoint infrastructure gaps in government high and higher secondary schools throughout the state. The Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) is currently soliciting information on the need for additional classrooms, laboratory rooms, and ongoing maintenance works.

This data collection is being facilitated via the Infrastructure Requirement 2026-27 Google Drive. The directive requires district nodal officers to identify infrastructure needs during their school visits under the Jan Vishwas Abhiyan and compile the details by August 22. The tight deadline suggests that the department is aiming to obtain a comprehensive overview of infrastructure deficiencies across Madhya Pradesh.

Nevertheless, this exercise also underscores that numerous government schools still lack essential facilities, such as sufficient classrooms and laboratories, even as the department has been actively involved in various school infrastructure initiatives. The DPI has directed officials to prioritize the identified requirements, ensuring that the necessary works are completed within the stipulated timeline.
