New Delhi, Aug 15: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday interacted with the students, teachers, and parents of PM SHRI Schools and alumni of Prerana Programmes who were invited to attend the 78th Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi.

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, while addressing the audience, expressed his pleasure in interacting with the special attendees and learning more about their experiences, dreams and aspirations.

He said that interacting with them has reassured him that Bharat's future is in safe hands. Shri Pradhan also noted that the priority of the government is to empower, encourage, and provide a vast range of valuable exposure to the Amrit Peedhi of the country.
PM SHRI School (PM Schools for Rising India) is a centrally sponsored scheme by the Government of India.

This initiative is intended to develop more than 14500 PM SHRI Schools managed by Central Government/State/UT Government/local bodies including KVS and NVS in which every student feels welcomed and cared for, where a safe and stimulating learning environment exists, where a wide range of learning experiences are offered, and where good physical infrastructure and appropriate resources conducive to learning are available to all students.

Prerana is a week-long residential program for selected students of class IX to XII. It is an experiential and inspirational learning program for students with the best-in-class technology where heritage meets innovation. A batch of 20 selected students (10 boys and 10 girls) attend the program, every week from various parts of the country.

Prerana program is running from a Vernacular School, established in 1888, in one of the oldest living cities of India, Vadnagar, Mehsana District, Gujarat. The school stands as a tribute to Vadnagar's indomitable spirit, a living city that has triumphed over challenges like earthquakes and natural calamities and is home to ancient heritage sites and monuments inhabited since the early historic period and in the modern day.

Minister of State for Education & Minister of State (IC), Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Jayant Chaudhary was also present at the event.(ANI)
