Under the 'Prerak Mission', a separate body constituted by the government would examine the abilities of the kids in state-run primary schools. After being judged on various parameters, if the school qualifies a certain criterion, it shall be awarded the name of 'Motivational School' of the district. This skill test shall be applicable to each primary school in the state, ensuring that every district has one motivational school, as planned.

The Basic Education Officer of Lucknow said, "One school from every block will be developed as a motivational school. On the same lines, within a few months, every school of the block will be developed into motivational primary schools. Slowly, every primary school of the districts will be developed into motivational schools."
