The minister announced that 1,200 meritorious students of Class 10 will be awarded free high-performance laptops with i7 configuration. The total budget outlay for Mukhyamantri Digital Education Scheme approved by the cabinet is ₹8 crore, Sood said.

“Each ICT lab will house 40 computers, and the setup will follow CBSE-approved parameters,” he added.

Alleging past lapses by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Sood said there are no functional ICT labs across 1,074 government schools in Delhi. “All ICT labs that exist today were set up between 2015-2019 under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, in partnership with the central government and they stand nonfunctional,” he said during the press conference.
