The BMC wants its students to reach for the stars. Literally. From the next academic year, students of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation-run schools will be able to observe space and cosmic events. 

“We have decided to set up a laboratory each in 100 civic-run schools so students can study space,” said Joint Municipal Commissioner Ajit Kumbhar. “The process of preparing a tender for the same is in the final stage. Soon, we will publish the tender. We have such a laboratory at a Worli civic school. We are getting good responses from the students there,” he added.
