NEW DELHI: For parents looking for their child’s nursery admission, the exact location of all schools in their neighborhood will soon be just a mouse-click away. As a pilot project, CBSE plans to put all its affiliated schools in Delhi on a public mapping system that will be available online.

‘‘There are so many schools in the capital that parents often have difficulties locating many of them,’’ said a senior CBSE official. ‘‘That’s why we want maps and location of all our schools in the city available online. This will help parents during nursery admissions where distance is such an important parameter.’’

The facility will also help the board analyse the physical distribution of schools in different areas of the capital. Parents may also use the online facility to gather information and basic statistics about the school of their choice as the board will maintain data of all its affiliated schools in Delhi. CBSE also intends to build a blog for each school whose link will be available on the GIS maps of schools.
