The Maharashtra government has issued a government resolution mandating all schools, including Zilla Parishads, municipal, aided, and unaided private schools, to establish alumni associations. This directive was announced on October 1, an official confirmed on Friday.
Alumni associations will be formed for classes 1 to 12, incorporating former students and advisory members such as principals, teachers, parent representatives, and education officials. These groups aim to contribute to the academic, infrastructural, cultural, and social development of their schools.
The core tasks of these alumni associations include upgrading infrastructure like libraries, laboratories, and digital resources, organizing expert lectures and competitions, and supporting sports and cultural activities. The initiative also calls for annual alumni gatherings, transparency in financial contributions, and an online platform to strengthen alumni-school connections and community involvement.
