The principal of Navodaya, the Principal of Atal Residential School and the Additional Commissioner Finance or Chief Treasury Officer (nominated by the commissioner) will be members of the committee."Recognised as one of the pro-rural and pro-poor initiatives of the Yogi Adityanath government, the process of setting up 18 residential schools named after revered Atal Behari Vajpayee aims to give admissions to children of labourers and destitute kids. These schools will impart top-quality education to those kids who have none to look after them and will enable them in shaping their future.
