Madhya Pradesh Cabinet approves Rs 3,000 crore for Sandipani schools

The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet has approved an allocation of nearly Rs 3,000 crore for the establishment of Sandipani schools and the enhancement of various educational facilities. This funding will support the development of government schools, hostels, libraries, and residential schools. To further upgrade these facilities, additional resources will be pooled from contributions by MPs and MLAs.

In addition to education, the Cabinet approved a Rs 241 crore scheme to improve school transport, specifically targeting reliable access for students in tribal areas and regions serving Other Backward Classes (OBC). District Collectors will oversee the operation and maintenance of these buses to accommodate local conditions.

The state is also expanding its AYUSH sector, with nine new Ayurvedic colleges approved to become operational. Furthermore, approximately Rs 1,698 crore has been allocated to continue the National AYUSH Mission to strengthen traditional medical practices and healthcare services. On the infrastructure front, the government approved the continuation of irrigation projects in Burhanpur and the Raisen district.
