India, Feb. 20 -- Rajeshree Shirwadkar, who is set to take charge as the chairperson of the BMC's education committee, has several plans to invigorate BMC schools, which are facing several problems, including that of dwindling students. Shirwadkar, a two-time corporator, said that improving school infrastructure and reviving Marathi-medium and other language-medium schools across the city would be her main focus.

The BJP politician filed her nomination for the post on Wednesday. Since there is no opposition to her candidature, she is expected to be officially declared chairperson on Friday. A special meeting of the education committee has been scheduled at 11 am at the BMC headquarters to formalise the appointment.
