This Government has launched the  Comprehensive School Infrastructure Development Scheme (CSIDS) during 2011-12 with an objective of providing basic infrastructure facilities like New Buildings, Kitchen sheds, Water supply, Toilets, etc., in the Panchayat Union Primary and Middle Schools in rural areas.  Repairs and renovation of the existing facilities will also be taken up wherever necessary.

         New school buildings will be constructed with RCC roof with weathering course on the basis of the strength of the students.  The space available in the school premises will be used for the new construction and if adequate space is not available, a new floor will be added to the existing RCC Buildings after assessing the structural stability of the building.

          New kitchen sheds will be taken up in those schools where kitchen sheds are not available and the existing damaged kitchen sheds will be taken up for repair and renovation.  Additional rooms/store rooms may also be constructed for stocking the commodities.

          Existing water supply system in the schools which are in damaged condition will be taken up for repairs.  Extension of pipeline will be provided wherever necessary.  New water supply connection from the Panchayat or a new bore well will also be provided wherever necessary.

          This Government shall ensure that all the Panchayat Union Schools have adequate toilet facilities for girl and boys.  Incinerators will be provided for the benefit of girl students.  If it is felt that funds under Total Sanitation Campaign are insufficient to meet the requirement of new toilets, the toilets can be taken up under the Comprehensive School Infrastructure Development Scheme also.  This scheme is being implemented in the Panchayat Union schools located in Town Panchayats and Grade III Municipalities also.

          As a measure to protect the school environment clean and to make the students safe, compound wall construction was also allowed from 2012-13 onwards.

          Committees have been constituted at the district level to take up a detailed assessment of need based on THAI survey for ascertaining the infrastructural needs of the schools.
