The newly constituted Ahmedabad Municipal Primary Education Committee will hold its first meeting on Wednesday at 11 am to select its Chairman and Deputy Chairman, setting the stage for the new body to begin its administrative work.

Pragnesh Patel’s name is being discussed for the post of Chairman, while Ankit Rathod is being considered for Deputy Chairman. However, the appointments have yet to be officially confirmed, keeping attention on the outcome of the meeting.

The official selection of the two office-bearers will mark the next step in the formation of the committee, which oversees the administration and academic functioning of Ahmedabad’s municipal primary schools.

12 Members Elected Unopposed, Government Nominates Three

Twelve members were elected unopposed to the Education Committee. The State Government subsequently appointed three additional members, taking the total strength of the new body to 15.

The 12 elected members are Pragnesh Patel, Ankit Rathod, Navin Patel, Dr Nilay Shukla, Liladhar Khadke, Parth Trivedi, Niki Shah, Chandradipsinh Vaghela, Nitaben Prajapati, Amrut Vyas, Nandini Pandya and Sonal Patel.

The State Government has appointed Rohit Chaudhary, Ahmedabad City District Education Officer (DEO), as a government member. Chirag Solanki and Bhavanisinh Shekhawat have been appointed as non-government members.

New Leadership To Oversee Municipal Primary Schools

Once the Chairman and Deputy Chairman are selected, the new committee will take forward administrative and academic responsibilities concerning Ahmedabad’s municipal primary schools.

Its key challenges include improving the quality of education, strengthening school infrastructure and addressing student-related concerns.

The first meeting on Wednesday is expected to formalise the leadership of the 15-member body. The official announcement will settle the speculation surrounding the two appointments and pave the way for the committee to begin its work.
