Maharashtra Halts School Closures for Three-Month Impact Study
Maharashtra has paused the closure of schools with fewer than 20 students to conduct a three-month impact assessment. This decision followed protests by the Shala Vachava, Shikshan Vachava forum, which began an indefinite sit-in on October 5 demanding withdrawal of the March 2024 resolution. The state has 14,251 such schools as of 2025. Officials met to discuss the effects on education access.
