Apart from these, even the Kendriya Vidyalaya- IIT Powai, Mumbai made it to the list.

Recently, with the reopening of schools for grades 8-12, the civic authority brought in comprehensive guidelines to ensure that students are offered a safe environment that augments their learning experience.

Additionally, earlier in August, an initiative named Project Samarth and Project Oorja was commenced to ensure the overall development of students, as well as, teachers in civic-run schools.

Cabinet Minister @AUThackeray today launched Project Samarth & Project Oorja in collaboration with @ABEA4Educators & @mpowerminds for the overall development of students & teachers in @mybmc schools.

Hon. Commissioner I.S Chahal and @NeerjaBirla of MPower were also present.

On the one hand, Project Oorja looked to curate an improvement in the mental-wellbeing of students and teachers by integrating mental health into the curriculum. Similarly, Project Samarth sought to upskill civic teachers through training workshops.
