Maharashtra Reviews Sainiki Schools Due to Performance Concerns
The Maharashtra government is looking into how well the 38 'sainiki schools' in the state are doing.
These schools are supported by the government but run by private groups.
The government is worried because not many students from these schools are getting into the National Defence Academy (NDA), which trains people for the military.
A special group of people has been put together to check these schools, see what problems they have, and suggest ways to make them better.
They will also look at a new set of rules for the schools and write a report with their findings.
