1.3.1 Introduction
The
programme of Panchayat Union School Renovation introduced in 2007-08 envisages repair and improvement of all Panchayat Union Elementary Schools and Middle Schools in the State in a phased manner. There are around 22,000 Panchayat Union Primary Schools and 4,500 Panchayat Union Middle Schools which are being maintained by Block Panchayats. Due to lack of proper maintenance, most of these School buildings have become dilapidated. Hence, the repair and renovation of such long neglected school buildings were taken up under this new scheme which was sanctioned vide G.O. Ms. No. 94, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS4) Department, dt. 12.06.2007.
The detailed guidelines have been issued along with the same Government order. The amendment to guidelines were issued vide Secretary to Government. RD&PR (SGS-1) Dept. Lr.No.40010/SGS-1/07-1 dt. 13.12.2007.
Updated guidelines for implementation of the scheme for 2008 - 09 have been issued vide G.O.(Ms) No. 97 RD&PR (SGS.1) Dept. dt. 06.06.2008. and G.O.(Ms) No. 64 RD&PR (SGS.1) Dept. dt. 16.07.2009.
1.3.2 Brief Guidelines
As per the guidelines, a selection committee consisting of the following members is given the responsibilities for the finalization of the repair works to be carried out in each of the school buildings:
- Block Development Officer (Block Panchayat)–Convener of the Committee
- Union Engineer
- Assistant Elementary Education Officer (AEEO) concerned
- Head Master of the Panchayat Union School
- Village Panchayat President
- Panchayat Union Ward Member Concerned.
In identification by the Committee of the repair works to be carried out, the following order of priority has to be strictly observed:
- Minor Works:
- White washing / Colour washing of the buildings (except those buildings, where white washing / colour washing was done within the last 3 years).
- Under taking repairs of RCC roof (in terms of putting up weathering course or taking up leak proofing etc.)
- Repairs / replacement of damaged flooring
- Painting of Black Boards
- Repair/ replacement of doors and windows
- Minor repairs of damaged tiles/rafters/ reapers in buildings with tiled roofing.
- Repairs of cracks in buildings walls.

Such cases are to be dealt with on a case to case basis separately and are to be approved by the District Collectors also separately. Totally dillapidated buildings requiring replacement are not to be taken for repair.
The works are executed through tendering process. The Block Development Officer (Block Panchayat) is designated as the tender inviting authority. |
