Students get a warm welcome as civic schools in Pimpri-Chinchwad open for the new academic year
As schools reopened for the new academic year on Monday, the first day of school turned into a day of celebration across all civic schools run by the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) with civic officials and elected representatives personally welcoming students with flowers, educational kits, and words of encouragement. At the PM Shri PCMC Gyanjyoti Savitribai Phule Primary School in Mhetrewadi, municipal commissioner Shekhar Singh formally inaugurated the 2025-26 academic year. He interacted with students, distributed educational materials, and inaugurated an innovation lab at the school. Speaking on the occasion, Singh underlined the civic body's commitment to not only improving the quality of education but also focusing on students' emotional and social development through structured initiatives in the upcoming academic year. The commissioner also highlighted that schools have commenced the distribution of uniforms, books, and learning kits through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. 'We aim to improve not just academic outcomes but also ensure that students grow into confident and socially aware individuals. Schools are encouraged to come forward with suggestions in the best interest of students, and the administration will consider them positively,' he added. At other PCMC schools too, the day was filled with energy and enthusiasm. Elected representatives marked their presence at multiple schools. MLC Amit Gorakhe visited the PCMC public school at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Kalbhor Nagar and addressed students, noting the tremendous potential of children in municipal schools. 'I was once a student here. To return as the chief guest today is a moment of great pride,' he shared. MLC Uma Khapre participated in an event marking the first day of the school at Yashwantrao Chavan Girls' Primary School in Thergaon and praised teachers as sculptors shaping young minds. She emphasized that such welcoming ceremonies instil confidence and motivation among students at the start of the academic year. In Pimple Gurav, MLA Shankar Jagtap joined the school's welcome programme and urged students to make the most of their education and bring recognition to their school, city, and state. PCMC Additional Commissioner Pradip Jambhale Patil visited a school in Pimple Nilakh, where he was welcomed with dhol-tasha performances by students. He handed out educational kits and encouraged the teaching staff to continue focusing on academic excellence, which, he noted, has been drawing more students to municipal schools in recent years. Other senior civic officials, including Additional Commissioners Vijaykumar Khorate and Trupti Sandbhor, Chief accounts and finance officer Pravin Jain, Chief Information and Technology Officer Nilkanth Poman, and Deputy Commissioners Sachin Pawar, Rajesh Agale, and Mamata Shinde visited several schools across the city to personally welcome students. The schools had made elaborate preparations for the day, featuring traditional welcome rituals like applying tilak and giving roses, eye-catching decorations, and selfie points that made the first day memorable for children. Principals, teachers, and school management committees worked closely with civic teams to create a joyful atmosphere in the schools.

Infrastructure gaps a hurdle for most govt schools in Gurgaon to get PM Shri tag
Gurgaon: Of 18 govt senior secondary schools in the district that applied for PM Shri status, 16 have failed to meet the mandatory infrastructure and compliance requirements. The deficiencies include a lack of a fire NOC, approved building plans, and essential facilities such as well-equipped libraries, science laboratories, and playgrounds. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The principals of these schools are now trying to obtain the necessary no-objection certificates (NOCs) from various departments to advance the process. The district education department has confirmed that only two schools have so far met the criteria set under the PM Shri (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) scheme. Launched by the central govt in 2022, the PM Shri scheme aims to develop selected govt schools into model institutions with enhanced infrastructure, digital classrooms, and innovative learning practices. Once selected, these schools receive direct funding from the centre for infrastructure development and academic enhancement. Currently, only 8 out of 130 govt schools in the district have been granted PM Shri status. These schools are spread across the blocks of Gurgaon, Sohna, Farrukhnagar, and Pataudi—two in each block. Three of these schools are affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). According to the education department, the following 18 senior secondary govt schools have submitted applications: Kasan Girls Senior Secondary School, Bas Hariya Senior Secondary School, Jatauli Senior Secondary School, Kasan Boys Senior Secondary School, Model Sanskriti School, Farrukhnagar, Kankrola Senior Secondary School, Haily Mandi Girls School, among others. The department emphasised that only schools that meet all the necessary standards will be upgraded under the scheme. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Also, a district-level committee comprising the district project coordinator, assistant project coordinator, district education officer, and elementary education officer has been formed to assess the applications. Assistant project coordinator Satya Narayan Yadav confirmed that inspections are underway, and schools found lacking have been given time to rectify issues.

Minister slams Lakshadweep administration for ‘removing' Arabic, Mahal languages from school curriculum
Kerala General Education Minister V. Sivankutty on Wednesday slammed the reported decision of the Lakshadweep administration to remove Arabic and Mahal languages from the school curriculum of the Union Territory and said it is 'deeply disturbing' and deserves the 'strongest condemnation.'' This move, taken under the guise of implementing the National Education Policy (NEP), blatantly contradicts the Union government's professed commitment to promoting mother tongues and regional diversity in education, he said in a statement. By denying Lakshadweep's children the opportunity to learn their own language, the Centre is violating the constitutional rights of linguistic minorities. By doing so, it is undermining the very pluralism and inclusiveness that define our nation, the senior Left leader said. ''Language is not merely a medium of communication. It is a carrier of identity, history, and culture. The systematic erasure of native languages through education policy is nothing less than an assault on the cultural fabric of our society,' Mr. Sivankutty said. The Minister recalled that the Government of Kerala had earlier raised strong concerns about the underlying intent and direction of the PM SHRI project and the broader NEP framework. 'Our decision to oppose its implementation in the State was based on precisely such apprehensions--that centralised policies would override regional, linguistic, and cultural realities in the name of standardisation,' he said. Pointing out that education is a subject in the Concurrent List of the Constitution, the Minister said both the Centre and States have a role in its governance. 'Any attempt by the Union government to unilaterally impose educational directives that marginalise local languages and cultures is a clear case of overreach and must be resisted,' he said. Expressing strong solidarity with the people of Lakshadweep on this issue, Mr. Sivankutty urged all democratic forces, educators, and civil society organisations to raise their voices against this 'linguistic injustice' and to demand an immediate reversal of the decision, the statement added.
