There are many school and colleges which publish their own magazines once in a year. The money needed for this purpose is got by small monthly subscriptions from each student.
The school magazine is a collection of articles, poems, stories and plays in English and Hindi. They are written by students as well as teachers.
There is a Magazine Committee made up of teachers and students. This committee keeps the accounts and selected articles for the magazine.
