The Madhya Pradesh government is equipping CM Rise schools, excellence schools, and model schools with advanced facilities such as smart classes, robotics labs, computer labs and bus facilities, same as that of private school. While some schools enjoy these modern amenities, there are approximately 230 elementary schools in the state that are deprived of even basic shelter or building. These schools are operating under trees, in open spaces, temporary shelters, Panchayat Bhawans, or even temples.
