A proposed municipal school at the old MHB Colony in Borivali remains merely on paper amid the inaction of government authorities. The MHADA (Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority) appears to be dragging its feet in handing over the plot for the school to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
In February 2023, BMC’s deputy municipal architect (school infrastructure cell) had written to the MHADA, asking it to hand over the plot. The letter mentioned that the plot bearing CTS number 240 at the old MHB colony in Borivali West, measuring around 1,436.62 square metres has been reserved for a school according to the 2034 Development Plan (DP). A BMC-appointed project management consultant had proposed a ground-plus-six-storey school and drawings had been prepared accordingly.
