A seven-member committee has been formed to visit Delhi Nagar Nigam schools to study their models so that similar practices can be implemented in zilla parishad (ZP) schools of Maharashtra.

The order issued by the Rural Development department of Maharashtra earlier this week declared formation of a committee for the task with an objective to better the ZP schools in the state. These include government-run schools in all rural areas of Maharashtra as well as rural belts in the outskirts of cities too. These schools, which generally cater to the underprivileged sections of the society, are seeing many experiments in the past few years to ensure better-quality education for students.
