With transformative reforms and a vision for world-class education, this event marks a new era for Delhi’s education system.

The ceremony wasn’t just about rewards—it was a testament to the grit and determination of these young achievers.
Delhi Govt Schools: A Rising Powerhouse

- Topper Stories: Students like Shlokaa Upadhyaya (499/500) highlight the power of focused study.
Delhi’s government schools are rewriting the narrative! With a 96.99% pass rate in Class 12 CBSE exams, they’ve outshone the national average of 87.98%. Students like Shlokaa Upadhyaya, who scored a near-perfect 499/500, advise peers to prioritize learning over labels. This success reflects the hard work of students, teachers, and parents, making govt schools a beacon of hope and excellence.
Transformative Education Reforms Unveiled
- 75 CM Shri Schools: New schools with modern infrastructure and value-based education to open in 2025.
- Smart Classrooms: Plans to equip all govt schools with digital libraries, clean toilets, and trained teachers.
- Inclusive Education: Focus on supporting every student, unlike past practices of excluding underperformers.
Marking the BJP government’s first 100 days, CM Gupta announced game-changing reforms. From 75 new CM Shri Schools to smart classrooms and multilingual education, the goal is to rival private schools and make Delhi govt schools a national model. Gupta criticized past administrations for sidelining underperforming students, emphasizing her commitment to inclusive education for all.
Addressing Past Criticisms and Moving Forward
- AAP’s Critique: Former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia claimed Gupta ignored toppers initially, unlike AAP’s tradition of honoring them.
- Gupta’s Response: Congratulated students on result day via X, reaffirming support for their dreams.
- Fee Regulation: New draft Bill to control private school fee hikes, empowering parents.
The event wasn’t without its share of controversy. AAP leader Manish Sisodia criticized Gupta for not meeting toppers soon after results, a tradition he claims AAP started in 2015. Gupta, however, congratulated students on May 13 via X, urging them to aim high. Meanwhile, her government’s draft Bill to regulate private school fees shows a broader commitment to education equity.
The Pratibha Samman Samaroh was more than a ceremony—it was a celebration of Delhi’s evolving education landscape. With CBSE toppers leading the way and reforms paving the path, Delhi govt schools are becoming symbols of pride.
