Relocating a school to a new location, or sthalantar, is a complex and sensitive process. It involves navigating legal regulations, obtaining approvals, and ensuring operational continuity while maintaining trust among stakeholders. Whether the relocation is prompted by a need for better infrastructure, increased capacity, or strategic growth, executing a sthalantar requires meticulous planning and expertise.

- Better Facilities: Upgrading to a site with better infrastructure, utilities, or environmental conditions.
- Strategic Growth: Expanding to a region with higher demand for quality education.
- Compliance with Regulations: Relocating to meet guidelines set by boards or government authorities.

Relocating a school involves a range of challenges:
- Regulatory Approvals: Schools must obtain permissions from educational boards, local authorities, and state departments.
