The Maharashtra Government is set to introduce bilingual curriculum in the State-run schools where students will be given lessons of English along with Marathi from Class One.
State Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad said, “The State Government is mulling over options to ensure concept of English is also clear in the minds of students along with Marathi. We will run the pilot project in 488 schools initially.”
The Government will introduce bilingual textbooks in selected Marathi schools from the next academic year. Based on the success of the project, the same will be introduced in other schools in phases. This will be first introduced in Class One.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
