School will have to give 25% matching grant
The way has been cleared for beautifying the dilapidated old aided secondary schools of the state. Under Project Alankar, colleges will now have to give only 25% matching grant. The remaining 75% amount will be spent by the government. Under Project Alankar, a provision of Rs 200 crore was made in the budget for the year 2022-23 for the renovation of aided schools.
A condition was placed for the aided schools that they would have to bear 50% of the amount for the construction work themselves.
In such a situation, despite the efforts of the government, the schools did not send the proposals. In view of this, the government prepared a proposal to amend the matching grant. It was approved on Tuesday. The schools will have to give 25% matching grant, in this too cooperation can be taken from CSR and MLA funds. Such schools which are more than 70 years old will be renovated. Schools will send the proposal through DIOS. Funds will be released in the ratio of 40:40:20 in three phases from the level of Director of Secondary Education.
Gratuity will be given to the family of teachers of aided secondary schools in case of their death even after the age of retirement is not filled. Teachers have to fill the option of retirement in 60 or 62 years. Those who fill the option of 62 years, they do not get the benefit of gratuity. Some teachers do not fill the options. In such a situation, on death before the age of 60, his family did not get gratuity. The amendment was approved by the cabinet.
