NEW DELHI: Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis launched a ‘100-day plan’ at an inter-departmental meeting for implementation of State Curriculum Framework (SCF) for the academic year 2025-2026.
Under the plan, the state education department will enforce Marathi language in all state schools. One school in each district (cluster of 8-10 schools) will be developed under the CM SHRI programme on the lines of PM SHRI. The model school will have till Class 10. One of its classrooms will be a 'smart classroom', the chief minister said while unveiling the plan.

The registration certificates for pre-schools will be issued based on their fulfilling of some minimum required norms and the certificates will be displayed prominently for the benefit of parents.
