From 17 August 2009 the Govt. Model School of Jabalpur will now start at 8.00 am instead of 10.30 This decision was taken by a Committee Presided by District Collector Jabalpur and the School Management. The Parents association had already been pursuing with the School Management for some time that as the School timing was from 10.30 to 05.30 the students were unable to take any other Competitive Courses etc, so this decision was taken w.e.f. 17 August 2009 .
