JAMMU: Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo today chaired a high-level meeting to review the availability of land and infrastructure for Central Government educational institutions, including Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs), that are either non-functional or presently operating from temporary premises across various districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
The meeting was attended by the Secretary, School Education Department, Ram Niwas Sharma; Commissioners of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan; Director School Education, Jammu and Kashmir; Regional Officer, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Jammu, along with other senior officers of the department.
Deputy Commissioners from all districts participated in the meeting through video conferencing. During the review, the Chief Secretary sought district-wise and school-wise details regarding the current infrastructural status of these institutions. He specifically enquired about the availability or identification of suitable land for the construction of permanent school buildings, as well as the arrangements made for their temporary functioning until permanent infrastructure is established.
Emphasising the importance of timely intervention, he impressed upon the district administrations and concerned departments to ensure that all procedural formalities are completed expeditiously to facilitate smooth functioning of these institutions.
Secretary, School Education Department, Ram Niwas Sharma, apprised the meeting of the present status of each JNV and KV and highlighted the specific requirements of land and buildings for their effective functioning.
He assured that the department would take all necessary steps to ensure early operationalisation of the non-functional schools from the forthcoming academic session, in coordination with the district administrations and central institutions.
The Deputy Commissioners, in turn, briefed the meeting about the land parcels and buildings identified in their respective districts for these schools.
