School ready to admit students in Phule's ancestral village of Khanavdi
The school named after Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule in Khanavdi village of Purandar tehsil, where the social reformer couple hailed from, is ready to admit students. Jyoti Savitri International School (JSIS), set to commence classes from April 2026, marks a turning point for educational access in a region where lack of infrastructure had long forced children, especially girls, to abandon studies after primary school. The school, first proposed in 2020, will begin with kindergarten to Class 2 and aims to serve around 1,840 underprivileged students up to Class 12 in the coming years. It will follow Christel House model of holistic education that integrates academics with nutrition, health care, transportation, school supplies, and career support. Christel House India will run the school as a secular, CBSE-affiliated institution in partnership with the Pune Zilla Parishad and the Maharashtra government. The initiative was conceived by Rishikesh Huli, principal architect at Pensive Architecture, who was asked by Khanavdi villagers to renovate a memorial for the Phule couple. Moved by the community's reverence for the visionaries, he proposed a more enduring tribute—quality education that addresses the very barriers the Phules fought to dismantle. The gram panchayat responded by donating 12 acres, and Huli's team designed the campus pro bono. The vision was soon expanded into a residential school for destitute girls and underserved communities with the support of then-zilla parishad CEO Ayush Prasad. According to Huli, the construction of phase 1 is nearing completion with CSR funding from Fiat India Automobiles Private Limited (FIAPL). The campus will feature 24 classrooms, science and computer labs, administrative offices, modern sanitation, activity areas, and dedicated language labs. A residential facility for destitute girls from Class 5 onward is also planned. A memorandum of understanding was signed earlier this year in the presence of deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and school education minister Dada Bhuse, marking a public-private partnership between the Pune Zilla Parishad, Christel House India, and corporate and community stakeholders. 'The partnership is a major step towards equitable education in rural Pune,' said Pune Zilla Parishad CEO Gajanan Patil. 'Built as a tribute to Savitribai and Mahatma Phule, the school will offer high-quality education at no cost to children, especially girls from deprived communities.' Jaison C Mathew, CEO, Christel House India, called it a 'landmark partnership' that aligned closely with Maharashtra's vision for its children. 'We are committed to empowering every child with not just academic excellence but life opportunities—moving them from classrooms to life.' The need for such a facility is pressing. Research shows that while the region is home to over 13,000 school-aged children, English-medium CBSE-aligned institutions remain scarce. David Harris, CEO, Christel House International, said, 'With this school, we are planting seeds for generational change—exactly the kind of vision Mahatma and Savitribai Phule had when they first challenged the barriers to education in this country.' More than 150 years after the Phules opened their first school for girls in Pune, their legacy comes full circle in Khanavdi—this time, with a school that promises not just access, but empowerment.

Fin mkt mgmt gains traction, many CBSE schools offer course
Ludhiana: In a shift in school education trends, financial market management (FMM) is rapidly emerging as one of the most sought after subjects in CBSE-affiliated schools across the city. Once limited to higher education and professional programmes, the subject is being embraced by students and schools. Such is the demand that 20 schools in the city have introduced it. Some have introduced it as a subject from Class XI onwards, while others have started offering introduction to financial markets as an optional subject in Classes IX and X. Educators say this development reflects a growing awareness among students and parents about the importance of financial literacy and also the career paths this field opens. Harmeet Kaur Waraich, principal of Nankana Sahib Public School and district CBSE coordinator, said, "In our school alone, about 45 students have opted for FMM in Class XI this year. The subject isn't limited to commerce students anymore — even those from science backgrounds are interested in it. It's a crucial subject. Students learn the importance of money, savings, and financial planning at an early age." Monisha Biswas, supervisor at DAV Public School, BRS Nagar, too said, "The subject is getting very popular.

Financial literacy is no longer optional in today's world." Bhupinder Singh, HoD (skill education) at BCM School where the subject was first introduced in the city, said, "We have gone a step further by introducing specialised streams based on FMM. These include commerce with financial skills (CFS) and commerce with science and technology (CST) enrolling 42 students in each. These streams combine FMM with emerging fields like AI and algo trading, which are based on software and the growing demand. We're offering students a broader perspective on how finance and technology intersect in today's economy." FMM is offered as part of the CBSE skill education framework and is backed by structured modules developed in collaboration with institutions like NSE as students also get a certificate from the exchange as well.
