Assam CM lays foundation, performs bhumi pujan for centralised community kitchen in Nalbari
Guwahati, (Assam) [India], June 7 (ANI): During his one-day visit to Nalbari, 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, CM Sarma stated that the present state government has consistently worked to support people from 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 crore 33 lakh 90 thousand, 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 added 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 said 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. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated the inspection bungalow constructed near Ghograpar Higher Secondary School on the road to Nalbari Medical College. The bungalow was built by the Nalbari District Territorial Building Division of the Public Works (Building & NH) Department with administrative approval of approximately Rs. 4.96 crore. The three-storey structure includes four VIP rooms, twelve deluxe rooms, a 60-seater conference hall, an office room, a reception area, and other general amenities, along with landscaping and parking amenities.

One student and no fresh admissions: Govt. LP school at Mittahalli in Kolar staring at shutdown
Meghana B. of Government Lower Primary School (LPS) in Mittahalli village, Mulbagal taluk in Kolar district, has been promoted to class 5 this academic year. What makes her promotion unique is that she is the lone student in the entire school, which offers education from classes 1 to 5. If there are no fresh admissions at least by next year, the school in Kolar district will have no students. No student has been enrolled in class 1 to this school for the last four years and there is a fear that school may be closed if the trend continues. There are a total of 72 families in Mittahalli village, with a population of around 436. But the 10 school-going children of this village have been admitted to private English-medium schools in other towns, including Mulbagal, leaving the government school nearly empty. Facilities intact The school has all the facilities, including classrooms, a kitchen, toilets, water, teaching aids, and furniture. Mid-day meal is provided to the lone student, besides hot milk and eggs. 'No student has been admitted to our school for the last four years in class 1. Last year, two students were studying in class 5 and one in class 4. The students in class 5 have passed and gone to another school for class 6. One student in class 4 has continued in class 5 this year. The parents of this lone student are labourers and have continued here because of financial difficulties,' said Gangadhar, the teacher of the school. 'I have been working in this school for the last 10 years. Earlier, 30 to 40 children used to study in our school. But all of them have gone to other schools after getting a transfer certificate. They all go to private English-medium schools. I have visited every house in the village before and after the school starts and tried to persuade parents to admit their children to our school. But they are not convinced,' he lamented. However, Mr. Gangadhar plans to resume his campaign again from Monday. Krishnamurthy, Deputy Director Public Instruction (DDPI), Kolar, said that enrollment drive will be held till the end of this month. 'We will visit the houses again in the village and take appropriate action to improve the enrollment,' he said. Need for bilingualism A few locals The Hindu spoke to said they would fight to keep the school in the village. Harish Gowda, a native of Mittahalli, said, 'A government school was started in our village about 43 years ago, and the enrollment of students was good. However, in recent years, parents have become obsessed with English medium education. We will meet the MLA of our constituency and try to get bilingual classes for our school to improve the enrollment.'
