The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)'S budget includes substantial monetary allocations for infrastructural repair and development work of civic school buildings. Yet, there are schools functioning in dangerous conditions. A total of 37 schools have been found to be on a list of buildings which need repair work. This information was revealed after an education committee member issued a concern for the safety of children in civic schools.

The issue was raised by Yuva Sena member Sainath Durge. "During my visits, I have noticed the dire conditions of the buildings of BMC schools. In many cases, parents have put forth the issues of the dodgy structure in meetings. I was appalled by the conditions at one of the schools I went to in Kandivali—Nityanand Road BMC School—where iron pillars are set on the ground floor of the building to support the structure. But the school continues to function with children and staff.
