This information was given in the high level meeting held before the Chief Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra. The process of appointment of principal and staff will also be started soon.

Poor students will get support
The Yogi government has started the Atal Residential School Scheme for construction workers and poor children in Uttar Pradesh. Due to the poverty and lack of means of many construction workers, their children are not able to take admission in schools or continue their education after taking admission. The state government is building Atal residential schools for such children of construction workers only. The objective of this scheme is to provide quality education to the children of registered construction workers by providing them facilities of primary, junior high school and secondary level education. All schools will provide state-of-the-art education, while if a child is interested in sports, work will be done to encourage sports activities. If any child needs a platform to show his skills in any field other than studies, then that type of facility will be provided in this institute under skill development. The government will make arrangements for living and eating and all kinds of facilities in the school.
