Gujarat education department directs coordinators to avoid non-academic work

Ahmedabad: The Gujarat education department, under the Samagra Shiksha programme, issued a circular directing that block resource centre (BRC), cluster resource centre (CRC), and urban resource centre (URC) coordinators should not be assigned non-academic work unrelated to Samagra Shiksha. The order states that such tasks can only be given in unavoidable circumstances with approval from the state project director. The circular emphasises that coordinators are appointed to ensure the effective implementation of various education-related initiatives, including School of Excellence, PM Shri, Swami Vivekananda residential schools, model schools, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBVs), vocational education, inclusive education for children with special needs, and programmes for out-of-school children and girls. These require timely achievement of set targets, which gets affected when coordinators are diverted to other work. It was noted that district and taluka-level offices often assign non-Samagra Shiksha work to these coordinators, leaving them with insufficient time for core duties. To address this, the department reiterated earlier instructions that no unrelated tasks should be given.
