Rajiv Kumar, chairman of the Education Committee of the EDMC, claimed at a press conference here. For the new academic session, 40,033 students have enrolled in the EDMC-run schools, Kumar said. A large number of these students are those who have left private schools to join the EDMC-run schools, he said.
