On April 11, Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will inaugurate the 'Jyoti-Savitri' school in Khanwadi, Purandar taluka, marking the state's first Zilla Parishad-run institution affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). This initiative aims to enhance educational access for rural and economically disadvantaged students, offering a curriculum that meets national standards. Funded through corporate social responsibility initiatives by Fiat India Automobiles Pvt Ltd, along with contributions from local planning bodies, the school is situated on a 12-acre campus and features modern amenities like digital classrooms and laboratories. Currently, 260 students are enrolled in classes from kindergarten to class 2, with plans to expand to 2,000 students up to class 12. The school will also introduce a residential facility for students starting from class 6. With a commitment to providing free education, meals, and uniforms, the project aims to create an inclusive learning environment, inspired by the legacy of social reformers Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule. The inauguration is expected to attract significant attention from senior officials, as this school is viewed as a potential model for rural education reform in Maharashtra.
