NEW DELHI: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday said five Delhi government schools have ranked among top 10 government schools in India, a feat made possible by training principals at leading institutes.
“The government conducted training programmes for the principals so that other schools could also feature in this list,” said Sisodia.
