Prime Minister Modi launched the Mission Schools of Excellence in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar whose total investment is worth Rs 10,000 crore. Addressing the launch event, PM Modi said, “Recently, the nation has entered the fifth generation (5G) era of mobile & internet services. We have used internet services up to 4G so far. Now, 5G is about to bring a major change.”
“Today 5G will take our education system to the next level by moving beyond smart facilities, smart classrooms, and smart teaching. Now the virtual reality and the power of the Internet of Things can also be experienced in schools,” PM Modi added.

Recalling his days as Chief Minister, the Prime Minister said, “As the Chief Minister of Gujarat, I myself went from village to village and requested all the people to send their daughters to school. The result has been that today almost every son and daughter in Gujarat has started reaching school and going to college after school.”
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the Mission Schools of Excellence will help to strengthen the education infrastructure in Gujarat. “The Mission will help strengthen education infrastructure in Gujarat through setting up of new classrooms, smart classrooms, computer labs and overall upgradation of infrastructure of schools in the state,” the PMO stated.
It is pertinent to mention that earlier on Wednesday PM Modi inaugurated Defence Expo 2022 at Mahatma Mandir Convention and Exhibition Centre in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar and also virtually laid the foundation stone of a new IAF base in Deesa north Gujarat.
