While addressing the teachers and staff present, the LG promised to hold MCD-run schools to the "highest standards by providing the best teaching, technological, and physical infrastructure."

"As a pilot project, 25 schools have already been identified, and work will begin as soon as possible. The same would be done gradually in all of MCD's remaining schools," in the statement Saxena was quoted as saying.

The LG assured teachers that he would do everything possible to create an enabling work environment for them and exhorted them to do their best by staying consistently updated and proactive so that their students are mentally and academically shaped to be on par with the best among their peers.
