With no proper infrastructure, furniture and separate toilets for boys and girls at Kokta Government Higher Secondary School, the students on Monday approached Mayor for separate toilets, boundary walls and new furniture for their school.
Mayor announced a fund of Rs 20 lakh for the construction.
The school students of Kokta Government Higher Secondary School came with their appeal at Mayor’s Chaupal. The Mayor’s Chaupal was held on Monday at Mayor Alok Sharma’s residence where the students of higher secondary school put forward their complaints.
Sharma listened to their complaints patiently. The school students were unhappy about the infrastructure and other facilities of their school. One of the students, Shraddha Kumari (name changed) told Mayor Alok Sharma, “Sir, first of all there are no basic facilities available at our school even the toilets are in a bad condition. Besides, it is really embarrassing for all of us to use the same toilet.”
At Mayor’s Chaupal, the students were not accompanied by any school faculty or anyone from admin department. A group of 15 students went at chaupal with their appeal to construct boundary walls and separate toilets for boys and girls. Another student Ajay Kumar (name changed) said, “There are no boundary walls in our school. This makes our school really unsafe for us.” The students also complained about the broken benches and desks of the school.
After listening to various complaints of the students Mayor Alok Sharma announced the construction of separate toilets, boundary walls and new furniture at the school. He said that within a time period of a month, all the facilities will be made available at the school. Besides he promised the students that he will come for the bhoomi-pujan of the new construction.
Instructing the officials concerned, he asked them to take action immediately. He also sanctioned an amount of Rs 20 lakh for the new construction and benches of the school.
As many as 117 applications were presented before Mayor on Monday.
