"This is in line with Supreme Court directives and National Education Policy 2020. Every school must now adhere strictly to the prescribed standards," said state project director Mayank Warwade in a letter to all DEOs and DPOs across the state. The guidelines cover five broad areas, including infrastructure, health, emotional safety, cybersecurity and disaster management. Warwade said the infrastructure includes boundary walls and emergency exits from the schools. "Health and physical security requires schools to provide first aid kits, conduct regular health check-ups and maintain comprehensive health cards for each student. The emotional safety stresses classroom monitoring and age-appropriate education on personal safety, including the difference between "good touch" and "bad touch". Cybersecurity protocols talks about computer labs with internet access," he said. Talking about the disaster management guidelines, the project director said all schools must now have a disaster management plan and conduct mock drills regularly.

Assam: CM lays foundation of centralized community kitchen for mid-day meal service
Guwahati, June 7 (UNI) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday laid the foundation stone and performed the 'bhumi pujan' for the Centralised Community Kitchen of the Akshaya Patra Foundation at Gandhia. He also inaugurated the inspection bungalow constructed by the Nalbari District Territorial Building Division of the Public Works Department (Buildings & National Highways) at Ghograpar. Speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony in Gandhia, Sarma stated that the present state government has been consistently working to support people across all sections of society. Highlighting various initiatives for the socio-economic development of the poor and middle class, he mentioned that the Centralised Community Kitchen, once completed, would bring tangible improvements to the region. The facility, estimated to cost Rs 25,33,90,000, would have the capacity to serve 25,000 students, covering Nalbari as well as parts of Tamulpur and Baksa districts. He noted the contributions of the Hare Krishna Movement and the Akshaya Patra Foundation in providing meals to government primary and middle English school students. He stated that in addition to government support, these organisations invest their own resources, ensuring timely and hygienically prepared food delivery to schools. He said that individuals currently involved in the mid-day meal service would continue in their roles, focusing on distributing meals. He further stated that the new system would reduce the workload on teachers, enabling them to concentrate on academic responsibilities. Referring to past contributions during emergencies, he said that Akshaya Patra had also provided meals to flood-affected people in Kamrup district relief camps. Reflecting on the evolution of the mid-day meal initiative, the Chief Minister noted he had initiated efforts in 2011, leading to the introduction of centralised mid-day meal services in the Jalukbari constituency during 2011-12. The programme was later extended to West Guwahati, East Guwahati, Dispur, and subsequently the entire Kamrup district. He further stated that Akshaya Patra is currently distributing mid-day meals in Jorhat, and construction of a centralised kitchen is underway in Majuli. He added that similar facilities would be developed soon in Dibrugarh, Lakhimpur and Tezpur. UNI ANP SS
