1, 2021, the project seeks to achieve 100% compliance with 35 infrastructure and facility benchmarks in 2,441 government secondary schools across the state.

Under this initiative, schools are equipped with essential and modern facilities such as newly constructed classrooms, science laboratories, libraries, computer labs, smart classrooms, clean drinking water, and hygienic toilets—creating a conducive and inclusive environment for learning.

Funding for Project Alankaar comes from various sources, including the state government, Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, Gram Panchayats, urban local bodies, company CSR contributions, and voluntary donations. The implementation is closely monitored by district-level committees chaired by the District Magistrate and overseen by the Director of Education at the state level.

The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2024 affirms the project's impact: “Clearly, something is changing in the schools of Uttar Pradesh, which is encouraging children to attend and actively participate in learning.”

*According to the report:*
* Enrollment in government secondary schools increased by 23% between 2022-23 and 2024-25.
* Attendance in primary schools (Classes 1–5) rose by 11.5% from 2010 to 2024.
* Attendance in upper primary schools (Classes 6–8) grew by 9.6% from 2018 to 2024—the highest in the country.
* Library usage in schools surged by 55.2%.
* Access to girls' toilet facilities improved by 54.4%.

These figures underscore Project Alankaar's far-reaching impact on enhancing the quality of education and the overall schooling experience in Uttar Pradesh.

As part of Project Alankaar, Chief Minister Model Schools (pre-primary to Class 12) and Chief Minister Abhyudaya Schools (pre-primary to Class 8) are also being developed. These schools have state-of-the-art facilities, including dedicated buildings for young children, STEM laboratories, computer labs, smart classrooms, playgrounds, mini stadiums, solar panels, and water conservation units. Each Abhyudaya School, designed to accommodate 450 students, has been allocated ₹1.42 crore for development.

The scheme also includes constructing, renovating, and upgrading infrastructure in 11 Sanskrit schools located across 7 districts of Uttar Pradesh. For the comprehensive rejuvenation of 141 Sanskrit schools, the Yogi government has sanctioned ₹14.94 crore.

Under Project Alankaar, a comprehensive framework of 35 key parameters has been established to transform infrastructure in government secondary schools across the state. These standards include the introduction of smart classrooms equipped with modern technologies such as digital boards and projectors. Additionally, integrated science labs and dedicated biology, chemistry, and physics laboratories have been set up to promote hands-on learning.

Libraries and computer labs enhance academic and technical learning, while multipurpose halls are provided for school events and extracurricular activities. Schools also feature designated rooms for principals and teachers, furniture such as desks and benches, and kitchens with tap water facilities for preparing mid-day meals.

To ensure a clean and inclusive environment, classrooms are being tiled, and bicycle stands and ramped access with railings have been introduced for better accessibility. Schools are equipped with separate and hygienic toilet facilities for boys, girls, and children with special needs and provisions for safe drinking water and piped water supply.

Additional facilities include playgrounds, verandahs, electricity and internet connections, boundary walls, main gates, green spaces, storage rooms, staff rooms, stages for programs, guard rooms, and deep freezers to support the mid-day meal program. These developments reflect the government’s commitment to providing a modern, safe, and inclusive learning environment for all students in Uttar Pradesh.
