‘Surakshit Shanivar' to train govt school students in disaster preparedness
Patna: Children of all govt-run schools, along with their studies, will now learn the skills to protect themselves and help others during disasters. For this, the Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC) has chalked out a detailed plan under the Mukhya Mantri Vidyalaya Suraksha programme. "A special safety training programme will soon be launched in all the secondary and higher secondary schools across the state to impart training to the children of classes VIII and IX on every Saturday of the week which will be known as "Surakshit Shanivar" (safe Saturday)," an education department official said on Sunday. "Students will be given training on how to protect themselves and help others during disasters, including earthquakes, fire incidents, floods and other emergency situations. They will be given detailed information about disaster-related incidents so that casualties as well as loss of life and property could be minimised," he said. BEPC's state project director Mayank Warwade recently issued a letter giving necessary directions to all the district education officers (DEOs) and district programme officers (DPOs) in this regard, the official said. "In order to make it a successful programme, a teacher from every secondary and higher secondary schools will be given training in different phases at a two-day state-level residential training programme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The training will be imparted at the Chandragupt Institute of Management, Patna (CIMP), beginning June 30," the official said.

The teachers trained at the state-level will be known as "focal teacher". The programme's main objective is to train the teachers so that they are able to successfully organise "Surakshit Shanivar" in their respective schools. The trained students, in turn, would make the other children and people living in their vicinity aware of disaster-related incidents and also how to protect and save themselves during such incidents.

Edu council issues 5-point norms to strengthen safety in Bihar schools
Patna: To enhance students' safety and ensure a secured environment, Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC) has issued fresh directives to all district education officers (DEOs) and district programme officers (DPOs), mandating strict adherence to the "School Safety and Protection Guidelines – 2021". "This is in line with Supreme Court directives and National Education Policy 2020. Every school must now adhere strictly to the prescribed standards," said state project director Mayank Warwade in a letter to all DEOs and DPOs across the state. The guidelines cover five broad areas, including infrastructure, health, emotional safety, cybersecurity and disaster management. Warwade said the infrastructure includes boundary walls and emergency exits from the schools. "Health and physical security requires schools to provide first aid kits, conduct regular health check-ups and maintain comprehensive health cards for each student. The emotional safety stresses classroom monitoring and age-appropriate education on personal safety, including the difference between "good touch" and "bad touch". Cybersecurity protocols talks about computer labs with internet access," he said. Talking about the disaster management guidelines, the project director said all schools must now have a disaster management plan and conduct mock drills regularly. "We want students and staff to be prepared, not panicked, in an emergency situation," he said, adding that the full guideline is available for download on the Union education ministry's website and will be monitored for compliance.
