For instance, the departmental head of Bhiwandi visited a school in Anjur while another official visited Murbad and spent some time there trying to the know the problems of teachers and students as well.

The aim of this initiative is not to conduct surprise checks but to participate and support the educational machinery," says an official from the district collectorate, Thane.
