Comprehensive educational facility for tribal students under one roof

Updated on: Tuesday, August 28, 2012

The state tribal development minister Babanrao Pachpute said that the naxal affected district of Gadchiroli will soon have an educational facility for tribal students right from kindergarten studies to post graduate courses under one roof.
 
Expressing concern over the education and facilities being provided to tribal students in ashram schools, Pachpute said they require better quality education so as to not lag behind in academics.
 
For this, the state government will soon start an education complex with KG to PG education under a single roof and officials have been asked to identify a suitable land for the project and send a proposal, he said.
 
The government had started ashram schools for the tribal students to bring them in the mainstream of education but most of these schools are situated in remote areas with no facilities. The teachers also do not attend the schools regularly, which affects the students, he lamented.
 
Also, the farmers in the district who have got land under Forest Rights Act will also be given sufficient funds for farm development and irrigation facilities, the minister said.
