Current Affairs - Education - Discussion

Niti Aayog has proposed the development of 'EduCities' in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) to enhance higher education and boost its status as a leading education hub. This initiative aims to stimulate job creation through improved infrastructure and connectivity. The proposed EduCities will integrate colleges, universities, housing, and recreational facilities, spanning 100 hectares. By establishing these educational hubs, Niti Aayog seeks to capitalize on Mumbai's status as the financial capital, leveraging its IT and data hub, and the thriving industrial belt between Mumbai and Pune to drive education and economic growth.
