Delhi Govt to Digitally Profile Over 1,000 Schools for Infrastructure and Safety
Delhi wants to make sure all its public schools are safe and have good facilities.
They are going to use special technology like drones and 360-degree cameras to look at over 1,000 schools.
This will help them create a digital map of each school, showing its classrooms, toilets, and if the building is strong.
They will use computers to analyze this information and figure out what needs fixing, from small repairs to bigger upgrades.
Even important checks on building safety will be done and reviewed by experts.
This big project will help the government make smart decisions to keep students safe and provide them with better places to learn.
Delhi government will create digital profiles for over 1,000 government schools.
The project involves assessing infrastructure, facilities, and structural safety using advanced technology.
Tools such as drones, 360-degree imaging, and AI will be employed for data collection.
A web-based application will manage the collected data and generate analytical reports.
Structural assessments will include non-destructive tests and vetting by institutions like IITs/NITs for critical repairs.
