Open four English-medium schools in every constituency
“हर निर्वाचन क्षेत्र में चार अंग्रेजी माध्यम स्कूल खोले जाएंगे।”English: “Four English-medium schools will be opened in every constituency.”
The verdict
The state went further than four schools per seat: English became the medium in Classes I-II of all government schools in 2024 with approval to extend to Class V, and 156-157 schools were moved to CBSE. The planned Rajiv Gandhi day-boarding schools (one per seat) are still under construction.
