The interface sessions will be conducted on June 11 for PRTs and TGTs, and on June 12 for PGTs and miscellaneous teachers, starting at 10 am each day, it said. An official said 12 of these schools will be completely rebuilt while the remaining 63 will be established in existing government buildings that will be refurnished to meet the upgraded standards of CM Shri institutions.

The CM Shri schools' initiative was announced during the Delhi Budget 2025-26, with Rs 100 crore allocated for the establishment of these schools. Modelled after the central government's PM Shri schools, the CM Shri schools aim to align with the National Education Policy 2020 and implement the National Curriculum Framework 2023. The initiative focuses on providing modern infrastructure, including smart classrooms, AI-based learning tools, and courses in data science and robotics.
