The 38th National Games should be kept in mind for completion of infrastructural development and other works at Maharana Pratap Sports College said the Education and Sports Minister Arvind Pandey while undertaking meeting of the governing council of the society of the college at Vidhan Sabha here on Monday.

In the meeting, the Minister gave orders to complete the construction of new tube well and water tank in the college. For it, a budget of Rs 1.95 crore from National Games fund was cleared by him. Interestingly the old water tank and tube-well of the college are in such a bad shape that they are not in position for repair. A budget of Rs  2.74 crore was also cleared for covering of a sewer passing through the college campus from the national games fund.

Pandey also sanctioned a sum of Rs  1.77 crore for repair of western boundary wall of the college.

This wall will prevent entry of stray animals and other people in the college. The minister also asked the officials to submit an amended proposal for repair of the college hostel. He also asked for submission of proposal for construction of a residential colony for staff. In a humanitarian gesture, Pandey asked the officials not to make any cut in the remuneration of contractual employees during the summer and winter vacations.

In the meeting the proposal for increase in remuneration of contractual workers, regularization of three workers and amending the educational qualification of Principal were sent to the state administration for necessary inputs.

The meeting was attended by Sports secretary Umakant Panwar, Member of governing body of sports college and additional secretary finance Avnendra Chauhan , representative of District Magistrate and ADM Harbeer Singh, Joint director Sports Prashant Arya, deputy director Sports Ajay Agarwal and officiating Principal of sports college Manoj Kumar Sharma.
