ABVP opposes move to turn RIE’s PM SHRI school into Kendriya Vidyalaya
The ABVP in Mysuru has formally opposed a proposal to convert the PM SHRI Experimental School into a Kendriya Vidyalaya. They argue that the school is essential for teacher training and educational research, and suggest that a new Kendriya Vidyalaya should be built at a different location instead.
Why it matters
This highlights the tension between expanding standardized national school systems and preserving specialized experimental institutions dedicated to pedagogical research.
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Mysuru, has strongly opposed the proposal to convert the PM SHRI Experimental School on the Regional Institute of Education (RIE), Mysuru, campus into a Kendriya Vidyalaya.
The Parishad submitted a memorandum to the Director of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) through the RIE Principal, urging the authorities to reconsider the proposal.
In a statement, the Parishad said the PM SHRI Experimental School serves as an important platform for teacher training, demonstrating innovative teaching methods, educational experimentation and research activities. Converting the school into a Kendriya Vidyalaya could undermine these core academic objectives, it said.
