Damaged govt school buildings to be repaired before monsoon
Hubballi: Dharwad education department is all set to repair the damaged government school buildings before the onset of the monsoon. The major damaged schools in the district have been identified. Under the grant of about Rs 4 crore from Samagra Shikshana Karnataka (SSK) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), the panchayat raj engineering department has been given the task of repairing the school buildings. A district-level team has been formed to monitor the work. According to sources, due to incessant rain, the ceilings of school rooms have been damaged in most schools over the last two to three years. To avoid such incidents, the department has planned to repair such rooms and make them safe for the students attending school from June. During heavy rains, school buildings leak, leading to water entering the classrooms, posing hurdles to children's education. Due to a lack of classrooms, students had to attend combined classes held in temples and other temporary shelters. Around 10 to 12 schools from each block of the district have been identified for repair work. The work has commenced, and instructions have been given to complete it before the monsoon starts. SM Hudedamani, deputy coordinator of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan Project at the DDPI office, Dharwad, said that grants of about Rs 4 crore were released to the panchayat raj engineering department to take up the repair of classrooms in the district. Work is being carried out at schools with major damage, he added. Hudedamani said that the department has submitted a request letter to the state government to sanction funds for the demolition of classrooms and buildings and reconstruction work. This project will be implemented soon after the government approves it, he said. Shanmukhaswamy Keladimath, deputy director of the public instruction department, said a list was prepared to repair the schools, and the work has begun. "We have been instructed to finish the work before the next academic year starts," he added.
