EDUCATION

Schools in Mumbai are either "municipal schools" run by the BMC or private schools run by

trusts or individuals, which in some cases receive financial aid from the government. The schools

are affiliated either with the Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE), The all-India Council for

the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), National Institute of OpenSchooling (NIOS) or the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) boards. Marathi or

English is the usual language of instruction.

Most colleges in the city are affiliated with the University of Mumbai, one of the largest

universities in the world in terms of the number of graduates. The Indian Institute of 

Technology (Bombay), Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), University

Institute of Chemical Technology (UICT) which are India's premier engineering and

technology schools, and SNDT Women's University are the other autonomous universities in

Mumbai. The Sir J. J. School of Art is Mumbai's oldest art institution.

CULTURE

Mumbai's culture is a blend of traditional festivals, food, music and theatres. Mumbai'shistory as a major trading centre has led to a diverse range of cultures, religions and cuisinescoexisting in the city. Mumbai is the birthplace of Indian cinema — Dadasaheb Phalke laidthe foundations with silent movies followed by Marathi talkies —and the oldest filmbroadcast took place in the early 20th century.

Contemporary art is featured in both government-funded art spaces and private commercialgalleries. The government-funded institutions include the Jehangir Art Gallery and theNational Gallery of Modern Art. Built in 1833, the Asiatic Society of Bombay is one of theoldest public libraries in the city. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya

(formerly The Prince of Wales Museum) is a renowned museum in South Mumbai whichhouses rare ancient exhibits of Indian history.

Mumbai residents celebrate both Western and Indian festivals. Diwali, Holi, Eid,Christmas, Navratri, Good Friday, Dussera, Moharram, Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja andMaha Shivratri are some of the popular festivals in the city.

FOOD

Indian food is as varied as India, every region and state having its characteristic dishes, and you can get them all here. Western restaurants abound, if you wish a taste of home, butbeing in India demands dining on Indian food.

Although you'll find western fast food restaurants in all areas, in this city fast food stillmeans Bhelpuri, Pav Bhaji or Panipuri. And Vada pav

Vada pav (Marathi:  °Ý   Ý ) , sometimes spelled wada pav, is a popular vegetarian fast food

dish native to the Indian state of Maharashtra. Vada pav was supposedly devised by snackvendor Ashok Vaidya outside Dadar station in 1971
