Audit Reveals Infrastructure Deficiencies in Delhi Government Schools Including CM SHRI School

A digital audit of 359 Delhi government schools revealed significant infrastructure deficiencies, including unsafe buildings, inadequate drinking water, and insufficient sanitation facilities. At the CM SHRI School in Dariyapur Kalan, structural issues such as dilapidated blocks, lack of toilets for girls, and fire safety gaps were identified, prompting student relocation to temporary campuses. The Delhi government plans to complete audits within two-and-a-half months and initiate repairs, aiming to improve school safety and amenities in line with education policies.
