Students at the City of Los Angeles School in the neighborhood of Matunga (Mumbai F South Ward). All pupils at this school live in slums. So popular is the school, that most travel up to 10km to get there.

The BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) uses the UNDP-devised Human Development Index (HDI) as a measure by which to allocate resources.

Using parameters like population, literacy rate and infant mortality, and ranking wards in the order of performance, the BMC apportions funds to areas with lower education and higher mortality rates. The BMC also encourages the participation of Mumbai's citizens in the monitoring of education and health projects.
