School Development Scheme, of the target of 18,000, the government has constructed around 3,500 classrooms, labs, compound walls, and toilets across the state. About Rs 1,000 crore more has
been allocated this year and work is under way at government schools on a priority basis. School Education Secretary S Madhumathi and other officials were present.
