 "Shelly Oberoi")
The MCD will build new schools and provide quality education to the children of Delhi on the lines of the Arvind Kejriwal government's education model, said Mayor Shelly Oberoi on Friday.
Oberoi, accompanied by Social Welfare Minister Raaj Kumar Anand, on Friday inspected the under-construction MCD school building in the Prem Nagar area of the Karol Bagh zone.
The Mayor reviewed the construction and directed the officials to expedite the work so that the school building could be rendered to the public for use, said officials from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
With the construction of this school, residents, including those from the weaker section, of colonies such as Prem Nagar, Nehru Nagar, Baljeet Nagar, Punjabi Basti (Baljeet Nagar), West Patel Nagar, and Gayatri colony will be able to send their wards to schools in their vicinity, Oberoi said.
"This school will run in two shifts and about 1,000 children will study in one shift. The school will have a computer room, library room, science room, medical room, sports room etc for the children," an official statement quoted her as saying.
