World Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kristalina Georgieva, who is presently in Mumbai, today travelled in local train from Churchgate to Dadar. During her first official visit to India, Georgevia will see the operations of the Bank-supported suburban rail system in Mumbai starting today.
While in Mumbai, she will have the opportunity to see how the operations of the World Bank-supported suburban rail system – which carries about eight million commuters each day – is serving a fast growing and urbanizing India. Georgevia will also visit a school serving low-income households and children with special needs, which is a part of Centre’s Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan programme supported by the bank to see how the Mumbai administrators are striving to ensure that basic services are delivered to all residents of the city.
