The Haryana government introduced a new initiative for PM-Shri school students to receive modern report cards, featuring a color booklet to reflect both academic and extracurricular achievements. However, the plan failed as only 10% of the necessary funds were allocated, with just Rs 15 per student provided against an estimated printing cost of Rs 150-180. This resulted in over 1.55 lakh students receiving outdated marksheets instead of the promised holistic progress cards. The funds, totaling approximately Rs 23 lakh, were released only days before the academic session ended, leading to logistical challenges and schools returning the funds due to the budget lapse. Education officials expressed frustration over the situation, with promises of corrective measures and inquiries into the funding allocation process. The total shortfall is estimated at nearly Rs 2 crore, highlighting a significant gap between estimated costs and actual market prices.
