New districts to hit state educational institutions

Government schools, hostels and colleges have been at the receiving end of the  state government’s plans to create new districts. 

Officials have identified existing government school and hostel buildings and taken them over to be used as accommodation for new government offices to be set up in the new districts.

Most of these school and hostels buildings that have been taken over by the officials are in and around the Mancherial.

According to sources, collectorate will be set up in the exiting building of tribal ashram school of ITDA near Degree College, ZP CEO’s office in the ST boys’ hostel building, BC welfare office in government BC integrated girls hostel, DEO office in Boys High school, ICDS Project director office in Balasadan hostel, inter-board RIO office in Government degree college. 

The treasury office in ST boys hostels and employment office in Government ITI for boys. A majority of the existing government buildings that have been taken over by the district officials are educational institutions.

There is no clarity whether the students will be adjusted in other hostels, schools and colleges or accommodated in rented houses after they are evicted from these buildings.

There is also no clarity on the size of the portion that will be utilized for new offices in the existing selected educational buildings or if the entire buildings will be used for the purpose. The district officials have selected school and hostel buildings also in and around the Nirmal town to set up government offices.

In most cases, district officials involved in the creation of new district selected available exiting district instead taking private buildings on rent for the government offices in order to reduce the expenditure.

A senior government teacher said, ‘Educational institutions are getting disturbed. This is leading students and their studies getting disturbed in process of creating new districts Mancherial and Nirmal’.
