MUMBAI: NGO Child Rights and You has sought the help of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to raise education standards in Mumbai's municipal schools.
The BMC has an education budget of Rs 1,800 crore and claims to educate nearly 4.5 lakh children annually. This translates to Rs 40,000 per child, which is able to fetch high quality education in an unaided ICSE school. This funding is separate from the Central aid provided under the Sarva Shikshan Abhiyan (SSA).
