It will cater to the city's state-run schools, as well as to NGOs conducting child education programmes.  

No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room, said American boxer Muhammad Ali. Some ministers in the state government seem to agree with Ali's statement, but there is a little variation: they don't want to stay in losers' rooms.

In their plumed helmets, dark blue tunics with shiny brass buttons, trousers and rubber gumboots, Mumbai's firefighters cut a dash as they ride the streets on their ageing red engines. But the time has now come for them to hang up the uniforms whose design has remained unchanged for nearly 100 years to meet the demands of 21st century fire-fighting.
