Sl no Issues Action Taken Comments1 The KGBVs in Manipur

do not cater to out of school/ never enrolled girls, but enrolling school going girls in the KGBVs primarily on grounds of economic constraints of their families despite the fact that state has large number of out of school girls. Identification of students is done in an ad-hoc manner. Network of the church had been used to enroll girls and consequently there were girls from other blocks/ Districts.

Deputy Commissioners/ Chairperson, District Board of Education who are also the Chairman of the Management Committee for KGBVs in their respective districts have enrolled girls in the Academic Session 2014 which started in February who are

(i) Unable to go to regular schools(ii) Out of school girls in the 10+ age

group who are unable to complete primary school and

Each KGBV may be verified individually to ensure the secular character of the school along with provision of other basic infrastructure.

All KGBVs in the State are secular in nature and no Religious Organizations are involved in the management/functioning of any of the 11(eleven) KGBVs in the State.
