ATAL UTKRISHT Vidyalaya is a flagship initiative launched by the Government of Uttarakhand to elevate the standard of government secondary schools by transforming them into model centers of academic excellence and holistic development. This scheme aims to provide state-of-the-art infrastructure, innovative teaching-learning methods, and a supportive environment that fosters the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of every student.
The program focuses on improving educational quality through enhanced physical facilities, digital classrooms, well-trained teachers, and a balanced curriculum that integrates academics with co-curricular and life skills education. It is aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020, striving to nurture responsible, skilled, and socially conscious citizens.
Over a planned implementation period of five years from 2022-23 to 2026-27, ATAL UTKRISHT Vidyalaya is expected to benefit thousands of students across Uttarakhand, setting a replicable example for other schools in the region. This initiative also emphasizes community involvement and continuous monitoring to ensure sustained improvements in school education quality
Atal Utkrisht Schools (Atal Utkrisht Government Inter Colleges) are a initiative launched by the Government of Uttarakhand in 2018, named in honour of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The scheme was introduced to upgrade selected government schools into model institutions that can deliver quality education on par with private schools, particularly in rural and remote areas of the state.
The main aim of Atal Utkrisht Schools is to enhance the standard of education by improving infrastructure, introducing modern teaching methods, and fostering holistic development of students. These schools serve as exemplary educational centres with a strong focus on academic excellence, digital learning, innovation, and life skills.
