This is dinning hall for 165 students. There are only two ceiling fans in this large hall and no benches or tables. Students sit on the floor and take their meals. Infrastructure is not adequate.
I have asked SAE of PO DWO office to prepare estimates for sufficient fans, dinning table, benches and adequate lights in dinning hall. Funds to be provided in the similar manner as was allotted to 16 hostels @ Rs 2.8 to 3 lakhs each.
Students led by 9th Class boy narrating the condition of their hostel to me during by visit last week. It is known that cost of text books for class nine or ten students is Rs 1500 to 2000 per session which is borne by poor students. Maintenance charges @ Rs 750 pm is paid from Backward Classes Welfare funds released on quarterly basis. Students from class 1 to 8 gets the text books from Govt. free of cost.
I have suggested one time grants of Rs 50000 to buy books to be kept as book bank. Students can deposit the text books after end of session for use by their juniors. Funds for the purpose can be allotted from Govt. grants. Bank accounts of all students have been opened to get Rs 2250 special education grants to students of class 9 & 10. PO DWO has been asked to release the grants immediately.
These are urinals. There is only one block of urinals and one block of toilets. Toilets are defunct as not repaired. Urinals are not cleaned properly. There are three Mark II hand pumps for taking bath in open for 165 students.
Asked School authorities to send estimates. Funds shall be provide to repair facilities and add more units. I have also advised BDO who accompanied me to supply them carom boards, volleyballs, footballs and other kits of games from Sports allotment. Regular visit to hostels is required to take care of needs of students.
