The Students' Federation of India and Democratic Youth Federation of India have launched an indefinite sit-in. They are demanding a halt to school closures and mergers. A memorandum was submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the Beed Zilla Parishad, highlighting the deteriorating state of public education. The organisations warned that rapid privatisation is making schooling unaffordable for poor families.

The sit-in began on Wednesday outside the Beed Zilla Parishad. Further details about the protest and the memorandum are available from the source.

The protest aims to address the issue of accessibility of education, particularly for underprivileged children who rely on government institutions.
