It has been a decade and a half since the city corporation expanded to include the present outer zones to form the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), and the civic body is, for the first time, all set to open its schools in the outer zones.
The civic body runs a total of 164 schools and colleges in the city, all concentrated in the core city zones, that is the erstwhile Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (226 sqkm) areas and not a single institution in the newly added areas, which have seen an exponential growth in population over the last two decades.
BBMP has now proposed to establish 10 education institutions, from nursery to Class XII, under a single roof, in seven Assembly constituencies of the newly added areas.
