BNMC has identified 21 illegal schools in Bhiwandi, up from 18 last year, raising concerns over student safety and weak enforcement. Despite fines of Rs 1 lakh and daily penalties, no criminal cases have been filed, prompting criticism from activists over inaction.
Bhiwandi, April 10: The number of unauthorized schools operating within the Bhiwandi Nizampur Municipal Corporation (BNMC) limits has risen this year, triggering serious concerns over regulatory enforcement and student safety. According to the civic education department, a total of 21 illegal schools have been identified—an increase from 18 reported last year.
The list released on April 7 by the administrative officer of the BNMC education department reveals that the majority of these institutions are English-medium schools (15), followed by five Urdu-medium schools and one Marathi-medium school.
Authorities have once again urged parents not to enrol their children in unrecognized institutions, warning that these schools fail to meet mandatory educational norms and safety standards.
Despite repeated warnings and strict penalties, including a fine of Rs 1 lakh and an additional Rs 10,000 per day for continued violations, many of these institutions continue to function without authorization.
