The BMC has unveiled an annual education budget of Rs 3955.64 crore for 2024-25. The civic body has augmented funds allocated for education by approximately R630 crore compared to last FY’s budget estimate of Rs 3321.55 crore.

The education budget builds upon the 2024-25 plan with greater investment in digital infrastructure, STEM education, student safety and health initiatives. While core projects like CBSE school expansion, CCTV security, digital classrooms and gamified learning continue, the introduction of financial literacy, robotics and cyber awareness programmes marks a significant leap in modernising municipal education.
