Some salient features of this school are to run the school under PPP Mode. Government will be responsible for fund and HUT will manage the school. No fees for students from class 6 to 12 classes. All the students are expected to stay in Hostel. Teachers are non-transferable; any successful teacher can retire from the school itself with all the retirement benefits provided by the management. Annual Evaluation of the teachers is very important because that will decide the continuity of the service. Management will decide which school curriculum will be followed. Students from Rural areas are supposed to avail this free education facility and promote them to become future leaders.
