# UP council schools transformed under Yogi Model 2026-08-19T18:12:40+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Uttar Pradesh has transformed 1.32 lakh council schools under Operation Kayakalp, raising infrastructure saturation from 36% in 2017-18 to 96.30%. The state is setting up 150 Chief Minister Model Composite Schools (pre-primary to Class 12) and 75 Chief Minister Abhyudaya Composite Schools (pre-primary to Class 8) across all 75 districts. The Yogi government is also establishing new residential girls' schools in blocks without Kasturba Gandhi schools, and plans to provide 3.42 lakh desk-benches. All primary schools are being developed as smart schools with digital learning resources. Land has been selected for 141 of the 150 proposed model composite schools. These will have modern classrooms, smart classes, laboratories, and sports facilities, aiming to match private school standards. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Uttar Pradesh runs over 1.5 lakh government schools, among the largest basic education networks in India. Operation Kayakalp, launched in 2017, focused on physical infrastructure like toilets, drinking water, and electricity. The jump from 36% to 96% saturation means about 60,000 schools were upgraded in eight years. The new model composite schools aim to stop the drift to private schools by offering Classes 11-12, which most government primary schools lack. The next milestone is completing the remaining nine model schools and delivering the 3.42 lakh bench-desks before the next academic year. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Article leads with Yogi Model and lists achievements without criticism or independent verification.
