?Everything from a parenting seminar, spot admissions and even stalls of educational supplies and equipment shall be available under one roof,? he said.

The fair will be held from Nov. 19 – 21 at the Milan Mela Complex here and will see participation from 15 schools from preschool to the 12th grade.

Coaching institutes, school supplies companies and such will also participate in the event.

?We also have two seminars for parents. A seminar on corporal punishment and another one on parenting,? Mishra informed.

In its first year, Eduworld will see participation from a host of schools, including Doon Global School, Akademia, Indus Valley World School, B D Memorial Institute, among others.
