Vidyanjali will cover initiatives under CSR, PPP, PSU.
But mobilizations of voluntary monetary contribution is not the primary and explicit ‘purpose’ of the scheme.
The scheme is targeted at primary (Class 1 to 5) and upper primary classes (Class 6 to 8) so ‘secondary schools’ infrastructure facilities’ are beyond its scope of work.
