Nomination Process - Value Schools
Value schools, recognised by the CBSE as Budget Schools, play a vital role in building an equitable society. In a country as diverse as India, many families earn daily wages or depend on seasonal work, making high private-school fees impossible to bear. Low-cost institutions ensure that children from every background can access education, breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors to better employment. Only schools charging fees less than ₹3,000 will be considered eligible under this category. Honouring affordable schools means recognising the quiet, consistent service they provide. When society acknowledges their impact, we affirm that education is a right, not a privilege, and that every child deserves a strong start.
The Shiksha-Bharati Survey project has been carefully designed to cover and cater to a wide segment of educational institutes across the country.
