The initiative will engage undergraduate engineering students and recent Class 12 graduates, offering them hands-on field experience while supporting the government's evaluation efforts, an official said on Wednesday. The audit will help build a comprehensive digital inventory of Delhi's government school infrastructure, a first-of-its-kind step aimed at guiding policy decisions and ensuring safer, more resilient learning environments for students, the official added.
