Existing schools must be converted in to Model Schools. It will take few years to make it fully functional and in between no body knows when this scheme will fruitful. It is excellent scheme but to bring immediate change existing schools needs uplifting.
This scheme will further deteriorate existing one.
Quite right Thakur Sahib. It would be prudent to improve infrastructure in existing schools than building new schools .
