According to reports, the association of minority employees in Maharashtra will arrange for free coaching and guidance to minority candidates in Mumbai and help them crack the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams.

Moreover, the Haj House will initially provide accommodation and library facilities to 30 candidates who qualify for preliminary exams to be conducted soon. “Our organization is registered and we have a mandate to carry out activities that can empower minority students. For the first time, we are providing free coaching facilities to candidates to help them crack the exam. We will hold a written exam and after interviews 30 will be selected for free coaching,” said Maharashtra Rajya Alpsankhyak Karmchari Association President Haji Saipan Jitkar in a statement to news agencies.

In recent developments, the Maharashtra education department is touted to transform 500 schools as model schools in Mumbai instead of 300 as planned before. In addition, the schools will be upgraded for infrastructure, teaching and learning outcomes. Last October, the state education department shortlisted 300 zilla parishad institutions as ‘model schools’ as part of its plan to transform 1,500 schools in four years. While the initial list consisted of 300 rural schools, following recommendations from local officials, people’s representatives, it was extended to include 500 schools.

On the other hand, for the last few months, parents have been protesting for the reduction of school fees on account of financial constraints and economic loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, on February 17, around 300 parents of the students studying in private unaided schools of Maharashtra staged a protest at Azad Maidan over fees charged during the pandemic.
