The state government has decided that all district schools along with one higher secondary school in each block \u2014 totalling 540 schools \u2014 will be developed as Saraswati Vidya Niketan (Model Schools). In addition to this, 155 existing government and government-aided schools will also be upgraded under the same initiative.
