The money can be used for projects like upgrading science labs, painting, and building new classrooms. School Management Councils will oversee how the funds are spent, and the government has made the spending process easier by introducing new rules.

Before this, schools could only spend up to Rs. 200,000, and accessing funds involved paying high taxes. Now, with this larger grant, schools will have more resources to make meaningful changes.

This grant is separate from the usual Non-Salary Budget (NSB) that schools get every three months. The Rs. 2.5 million is a one-time payment designed to bring big improvements to schools across Punjab.

This step shows the governmentโ€™s effort to support education and create better learning environments for students.
