Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will transfer ₹489 crore in a single click to 20,652 non-government schools. The programme is being held in Harda district on Monday, September 29, under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. This amount will help reimburse the school fees of 8.45 lakh children enrolled during the 2023-24  academic year.
