PMC secondary schools’ education officer Popat Kale invited applications from various organisations for the same. The civic body has planned to run six schools with these organisations for the next thirty years.

The private organisations must follow all PMC guidelines, including giving admissions as per PMC policy. The expenditure for teaching and non-teaching staff must be borne by the organisation, said officials.

Kale said, “While running these schools, organisations need to follow all the rules and give admissions as per PMC policy.”
