“We want that MCD schools can also be made into excellent educational centers like IIM institutes," she added. Oberoi on her part said the MCD inspired by the Delhi government schools has also started revolutionary changes in the field of education in the civic body schools. "MCD schools were earlier considered neglected. There was a lack of resources in corporation schools.

Now the work of rejuvenation of corporation schools is being done on a war footing," she added. Addressing the principals, the mayor said that after training at IIM-Ahmedabad, "now is the time for you to pass on the benefits of your learning to the children”. “Our goal is to now make the schools of the MCD excellent like the schools of the Delhi government so that the children coming out of our schools make their name shine in all fields," she added.
