🏗️ Infrastructure Components – Estimates Required

Major and minor repairs
Construction of toilets with running water

Electrification (fans, tube lights)
Provision of drinking water supply
Partitions
Painting of school buildings
Dual Desks
Green chalk boards
Construction of additional classrooms (ACRs)

📐 Guidelines for Infrastructure Assessment

1. RO Systems: RO units supplied under Phase-I/II shall be treated as existing (whether installed, non-functional or yet to be installed). New proposals strictly based on actual necessity after adjusting existing units.

📍 Illustration: Requirement based on strength = 2 Units | RO already supplied = 1 (-) → Net Requirement = 1

2. Dual Desks: Assess based on current enrolment, deduct existing usable furniture.

📍 Student strength = 120 | Existing usable furniture = 70 → Net requirement = 50 Dual Desks

3. Additional Class Rooms (ACRs): Strictly as per PTR norms/classroom norms, minus existing functional classrooms & ongoing works.

The requirement of Additional Class Rooms (ACRs) shall be assessed strictly in accordance with:
Student strength,
PTR norms/classroom norms prescribed by Government, and
Actual infrastructure availability in the school.
While arriving at the requirement, the following shall invariably be deducted:
Existing functional classrooms, and
Ongoing/incomplete classroom works already sanctioned under any scheme.
Only the balance requirement shall be proposed as new ACRs.

📏 Criteria for ACRs / Partitions / Conversion of Verandah

4. Green Chalk Boards: Requirement based on functional classrooms & actual need; replacement only if existing boards damaged/unusable.

📍 Functional classrooms = 10 | Existing usable boards = 7 → Net requirement = 3 Green Chalk Boards

⚠️ Strict Monitoring: The Government at highest level is reviewing proposals. Any negligent, inflated or duplicate proposals will invite personal accountability of DEOs and APCs. All estimates must be need-based, student-centric and adhere to SSR provisions.

⏰ Important Deadlines & Mandate

🔹 For student enrolment exceeding 60 during academic year 2026-27, additional infrastructure estimates shall also be prepared.
🔹 Hon’ble Minister for HRD reviewed status in DEOs/APCs conference on 20-05-2026. All officers shall accord highest priority.
