Educational facilities in Mumbai
In the field of education, Maharashtra has been a pioneer for almost a century, with leaders Gokhale, Tilak and Phule having set up their own institutions. This tradition has been followed, generation, with the results that there are hundreds of schools and collages belonging to different communities managed by their own societies and trusts.
The state government has not only encouraged but also helped these activities. A part from making primary education compulsory, and establishing thousands of schools for this purpose, it has introduced one of the boldest and most imaginative schemes in taking education to the masses; it pays from its own funds the fees, right up to the university level, of all boys and girls, the annual income of whose parents is less than Rs 18oo.
Some bold experiments in helping agriculturists with modern, technical knowledge about the latest methods of cultivation and with timely and adequate supply of fertilizers, seeds, credit and guaranteed market for their produce are being undertaken, particularly in regard to food grains and cotton.
Another significant development has been the emphasis on agricultural education; to promote it effectively four agricultural universities have been established in the four different regions.
