The state education department has a plan to handle unauthorised schools in slums. They want to sort out which ones deserve recognition and fit the criteria for regularisation. The cutoff is set at pre-2013 and post-2013 establishment. Suraj Mandhare, the state commissioner of education, stated that schools breaking rules might face closure for good.

Mandhare said, "Schools before 2013 need to follow 2010 government norms, and post-2013 ones must comply with the Maharashtra Self-Financed Schools Act. Those without proper land ownership, using fake documents, or not meeting any criteria won`t be recognised. The process of scrutinising documents is currently on."
