North Delhi Mayor visits primary schools in city



In order to promote 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' campaign and to interact with the students, North Delhi Mayor, Preeti Agarwal visited Municipal Primary school at Sarswati Vihar. She interacted with students regarding the importance of education, health and cleanliness. Students also shared future plans and aims with the Mayor. Chandigarh Mayor Poonam Sharma Wednesday said the seven government primary schools under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation (MC) would soon be converted into smart schools on par with the other government schools in Chandigarh. 
The mayor visited two of the schools, Government Primary School (GPS), Sector 12 (PGI), and GPS, Buterla village for inspection Wednesday. Sharma was accompanied by Joginder Singh, Block Education Officer, and concerned officers of MC. Sharma added that she would request the UT Administration to transfer more schools under the civic body.Click here:

On her first visit to the schools after becoming the mayor, Sharma was apprised by the school in-charges of the poor condition of the buildings and lack of other infrastructure facilities provided on the schools’ premises. She also checked the midday meal provided in the schools and instructed the concerned staff to ensure hygienic food for the students. She said that a meeting would be called in two-three days to chalk out a plan for the upgrade of the schools. Addition of hygienic food supplements to the students of the primary schools was also on the cards, said the Mayor.
 
It was in 2010 when the UT Administration had handed over the seven primary schools to the civic body. However, these schools continue to flout the norms of the Right to Education (RTE) Act. They have been running without benches, boundary walls, playgrounds and security guards, and have poor-textured blackboards and inadequate teachers. Apart from GPS Buterla and GPS, Sector 12, the other schools are one each in Sector 26, Mauli Complex and Railway Colony, and two in Manimajra.
