Prepare calendar for hostel visits, students' health records and regular review of facilities: Deputy CM
'Every officer's visit to these hostels must be properly documented with timely reports on the aspects they inspected. The visit programme should be continuous, and Ministers and local MLAs should also participate in these inspections,' he said.
Mr. Vikramarka observed these instructions during a review with Minister for Social Welfare Adluri Laxman Kumar, Principal Secretary (Finance) Sandeep Kumar Sultania, and Secretaries from SC, ST, BC and Minorities gurukuls, and other top officials.
He noted the pro-student approach of the government and reminded that several initiatives were taken such as a 40% hike in diet charges and 200% hike in cosmetic charges. A scientifically-prepared menu was also finalised based on expert recommendations.
The common diet menu should be placed prominently in all the welfare hostels and gurukuls, he said, and instructed officials to prepare detailed reports on the various amenities available in hostels, particularly those operating from rented buildings, including building conditions and landlord details.
In the high-level review on welfare hostels and gurukuls, Mr. Vikramarka also stressed the need for installing mosquito nets in all hostels, ensuring uninterrupted running water supply, conducting medical check-ups and issuing individual health cards with the coordination of district collectors and medical and health officers. He suggested that free online medical services by corporate hospitals can also be availed.
Mr. Vikramarka also shared that there were plans to install solar rooftop panels for all residential school buildings to meet their own power needs.
The review also included implementation of 'Best Available Schools' scheme and the progress of 'Centres of Excellence' in various societies.
