All the education officers and Gram Pradhans have been directed to ensure that allocated construction works in the schools are completed without delay, said Dehradun District Magistrate BVRC Purushottam while reviewing Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan schemes in the Town Hall in Dehradun on Monday.
Reviewing SSA schemes with block development officer, village development officer and Gram Panchayat representatives and cluster resource centre coordinators, Purushottam expressed disappointment at progress report of construction works like girls’ toilet, potable water, additional class rooms in schools and Panchayat halls in villages and directed the officers concerned to ensure that these works are completed within a month.
