Shimla: In Himachal Pradesh, a model will be created by merging schools with less number of students within a radius of 10 to 15 kilometers.

After the approval of the Cabinet, the Education Department has started preparing for the formation of Center of Excellence schools.

A list of schools to be merged has been sought from all district deputy directors by the end of November. Teachers of every subject will be appointed in model schools with all modern facilities.

Education Minister Rohit Thakur said that the government is trying to provide quality education. Work is being done on many schemes.

schools-less-children-within-10-to-15-km-radius-will-be-merged-will-become-models

Under the Right to Education Act, schools open at short distances and vacant posts of teachers are being held responsible for the falling standard of education in the state.

Recently, in the review meeting of the Education Department held at the State Secretariat, an advocacy was made to stop the practice of opening new schools.

In this context, it has been decided that now only one school from pre-primary to class 12th should be opened at a distance of 10 to 15 kilometers.

Teachers of all subjects should be appointed in these schools. All facilities should be provided to children for education. District Deputy Directors have been instructed to identify such schools within a month.

Departmental officials said that the increasing expenditure on the government due to less number of children in schools can also be reduced with this new system.

Educational qualification of Anganwadi workers asked for promotion as pre-nursery teacher

Asked for educational qualification Anganwadi workers

Shimla: Education Secretary Rakesh Kanwar has held the first meeting with Women and Child Development Department Director Rupali Thakur on giving quota to Anganwadi workers in schools before pre-nursery teacher recruitment.

In this meeting held in the Secretariat on Thursday, many questions going on in both the departments were raised. In view of these questions, the Education Secretary has sought some more information regarding the educational qualification and honorarium of Anganwadi workers.

The Women and Child Development Department has been asked what is the educational qualification of the Anganwadi workers currently appointed in 18925 Anganwadi centers and how much are they being paid including incentives?

One of the main questions raised during this meeting is that after taking the Anganwadi worker to school for pre-nursery, what will happen to the other programs of the Government of India under the Anganwadi Centre?

Apart from pre-school education, many types of programs are also run in Anganwadi regarding registration, monitoring, nutrition of pregnant women and lactating women.

Asked for educational qualification Anganwadi workers

It was also discussed that if Anganwadi workers are to be taken to pre-nursery, they will have to undergo a six-month bridge course.

A feedback was also given from the Women and Child Development Department that like government schools, the number of children in Anganwadi is also decreasing. The biggest reason for this is the play schools opening in urban areas.

Instead of providing nutrition, parents are sending their children to play schools so that they learn something before going to school. The Education Secretary has also asked the Department of Overall Education and Women and Child Development to give some more points in this matter.

There was also discussion regarding co-location of Anganwadi and pre-school. In this meeting, it was said that it should be carried forward within the scope of the mandate given in the National Education Policy.

State government will fill more than 4500 posts of pre-nursery teachers

The state government is going to fill more than 4500 posts of pre-nursery teachers and budget is also available for this from the Government of India.

Since the NTT Diploma will have to be taken with the same NCTE conditions, Anganwadi was also being given a promotion quota for pre-nursery teaching. But no solution could be found in the first meeting.

The meeting will be held again under the chairmanship of the Education Secretary. Only after that the draft will be sent to the Education Minister. Education Minister Rohit Thakur has asked to finalize the draft before the next cabinet, which does not seem likely right now.

This road will be built along with the IT Park keeping in mind the connectivity of the IT Park being built in Gagal.

It has been revealed from reliable sources that the new road will reach Mataur main road from Razole, BSF Center, Bhadaut Balla, Kiyodian, Salangadi, Gagal upwards, passing through the lower empty part of Ichchi, Patola and Ansoli.

Four lane from above Gaggal airport

Beyond this, from near the newly constructed building of Mataur College, without disturbing the Ghurkadi Chowk market, it will go from the fields to Kachiyari and reach the four lane main road.

Due to this, the people of Gaggal, Mataur and surrounding areas will not have to bear the brunt of destruction. Not only this, by building this route near the airport and IT park, better facilities will be provided to the people.

The work on Pathankot-Mandi four-lane stop near Gaggal airport is also going to get approval soon. Four-laning work is going on on a large scale for 32 miles from Pathankot.

The special thing about this survey is that very few buildings will be affected by it. Not only this, it will also provide adequate space for expansion of Gaggal Airport.

The National Highway will be an important link to connect Dharamshala and surrounding areas from the tourism point of view.
