As Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) schools continue to register strong academic performances and attract increasing numbers of students, the civic body's focus is no longer limited to examination results.

It is now equally invested in preparing children for a rapidly changing world through technology, skill development and diverse learning opportunities.

Speaking at The Free Press Journal's (FPJ) third edition of the BMC Schools Toppers’ Awards, where 28 Class 10 toppers were felicitated, Sujata Rajendrakumar Khare, Deputy Education Officer, BMC, said the growing confidence that parents are placing in municipal schools is one of the biggest indicators of the transformation taking place in the education system.

‘This recognition means a lot to our students’

Congratulating the toppers, Khare praised The Free Press Journal and Navshakti for creating a platform that celebrates the achievements of students from municipal schools. "This is a wonderful initiative by The Free Press Journal and Navshakti. Our children do not often get such a large platform where they are recognised for their achievements and get an opportunity to express themselves. Today's event has given them both recognition and confidence,” she said.

She added that the felicitation was not only a celebration of academic success but also an opportunity for society to acknowledge the hard work of students studying in BMC schools.
