CIVIL WORKS

Introduction

Civil works main objective of improving and developing infrastructure facilities

in Government schools is to reduce dropout rate, increase school attendance rate,

motivating children in the learning process and to improve the academic performance of

the students. After the enhancement of infrastructure facilities in schools, it is obvious

that the student‟s enrolment rises to a greater extent. SMC is the major part of society

which contributes its supports for the infrastructure facilities of the schools, physically

and financially. Civil Works component plays a predominant role in SSA.

As per RTE, children are constantly interacting with the physical environment of

their schools during structured or unstructured time, consciously or unconsciously.

RTE ACT, 2009 is changing the future of Government Schools in India, since

it is mandatory to accomplish ten infra-structure norms fixed by RTE act. Under the act,

“Schools must have basic infrastructure facilities like an all-weather building with at

least one classroom for every teacher and an office for the head teacher ”.

A separate toilet each for girls and boys, a playground and a library for every

school with sufficient reading material, electrification of the school building and

ramp access for disabled students are some of the basic requirements that have

been recommended under the act.

A different line of thinking, a shift from the stereotype, a deviation from the

routine often results in plans that are extraordinary. Greatness lies not in doing different

things but in doing things differently. An innovative project „BaLA‟ (Building as Learning

Aid) was implemented in all the classroom buildings. „BaLA‟ taps the pedagogy potential of

school spaces. It creates an elegant ambiance to school which motivates the child to enroll

in and attend the school regularly. Implementation of „BaLA‟ not only helps in making the

school inviting and attractive for children, it also helps in retaining them to be constructively

engaged during and beyond school hours.

Civil Works - Success Stories

News School Building 2016-17 - Boomattu Colony

School environment is the best place which

offers opportunity for the students not only to learn

but also to work together and to learn the importance

of forging relationships with each other.

On the above account, SSA constantly take

tremendous effort in opening and upgrading schools.

A school opened by SSA in the year 2016-2017 at

Boomattu colony in Thalarpadi village of cheyyar

block has brought a remarkable change in the lives of

many young children.

Unserved Habitation:

In the year 2013-14 the habitation Boomattu colony was identified as unserved.

46 students of that habituation have to walk around 4 km to reach the school at

Pulindhai. The distance they walk is a dried lake and the land is marshy. Access to

schooling was difficult for them in such unfavourable geographical condition.

Contribution of SMC:

A new school has been sanctioned in the year

2016-2017 . Temporarily the school is running in a

community hall at the village. On seeing this, the

village President Mrs. Maniyama donated her 7200

sq.ft land worth Rs. 4 lakhs.

Construction of New School:

SSA has sanctioned 21.500 lakhs for the construction of the new school. The

construction includes 2 classrooms, Kitchen shed, two toilets, over head water tank and

hand wash facility. The people and children of Sagayapuram and Boomattu colony are

really happy and thankful to SSA and their village president who donated the land. The

construction work is under progress.

GHS – Kelapparai

Government High School Kelaparai is situated in Ellappudaiyanpatti panchayat,

Harur block, Dharmapuri district. This middle school has been upgraded to high school

on 17.12.2011. The school faced so many hurdles in its academic journey because of

Tiruvannamalai District

Dharmapuri District

insufficient classrooms. Infrastructure plays an eminent role in establishing quality

education. This school overcomes the problem with the support of SSA.

Activities of school:

PUPS Kelaparai and GHS Kelaparai accessed the same campus with very few

buildings for their academic and class room transaction with 259 students and 252

students respectively. Inadequate classrooms threaten the learning opportunities, health

and safety of the students. Some of the classes were taught in open classroom under

trees.

SMC Contribution:

SMC of GHS Kelaparai contributed for about Rs. 2,00,000/- to construct an

asbestos roofed building for class room transaction in the academic year 2104-15. Even

though a building constructed with the support of SMC the classrooms for all the

standards are not adequate. So two more class rooms are badly needed for teaching

and learning purpose to the school. For these two classes they have been using

panchayat office and open classroom under tree. These discomforts affected the

academic activities.

Two Classrooms by SSA:

Taking all the above problems into

consideration SSA has allotted GHS

Kelaparai with 2 classroom at the cost

of Rs.1560000/- . In addition to this

SMC and public from the village

supported to construct one more class

room for instructional purpose.

Provision of these three classrooms has

increased students achievement in

academic activities. It shows that the performance of the students depends on the

school facilities, which inturn determine their future lives. The classroom needs have

been fulfilled by SSA and SMC to ensure the quality teaching learning process.

2. GHS –Athimarathur:

GHS Athimarathur with more than 150 students faced so many difficulties after it

was upgraded. Both primary and high school shared the existing buildings for

instructional purpose. The lack of basic infrastructural facilities like classrooms, toilets,

water facility and play ground has become the major issue of GHS Athimarathur.

SMC Contribution: SMC plays an effective role in the development of GHS

Athimarathur by contributing Rs. 200000/- for infrastructural facilities. With the help of

the contribution and the fund sanctioned by SSA for 4 classrooms, they managed to

construct 5 classrooms for academic and instructional purpose.

An Elysium of erudition - PUPS, Kombaithozhu

SSA scheme has bestowed many schools with vibrant amenities to pacify the

infra-structure needs. Every year, the outcome of need-based analysis directs to trace

the areas to be paid more concentration in civil works. PUPS, Kombaithozhu of

Mayiladumparai block functions as a pioneer school with fully gratified physical facilities.

The school shines as a paradise with recently colour-washed walls, a fascinating

fountain near the threshold of the school, a herbal garden with variety of herbs, a cluster

of blooming and colourful flowers and clean hygienic toilets with whitewash. All these

amenities adorn the school and enable the children to build their future with ebullience

and gusto.

Theni District

The same school is blessed with a well constructed Dias worth Rs.77,000/- and a

functional Hand-washing station for Rs.25,000/- and also a mighty iron gate worth for

Rs.15,000/- . The main reason for the saturated infrastructure with adequate fund

support is the SMC members of the school. PUPS-Kombaithozhu is also adorned by a

fascinating garden with all kinds of Herbs and greens. The highly enriched iron content

food-the greens are not only planted but also served to the children in addition to mid-

day meals. The banana trees in the school premises yield a good harvest and the fruits

strengthen the health of the children as they are served as the snacks.

The fertilizers needed for these herbs, greens and trees are prepared within the

school campus in the form of vermi-composite and the children involve themselves with

great enthusiasm in the preparation of the fertilizers. The water scarcity is not an

obstacle as they use sprinkling and drip irrigation to water the plants.

PUPS Narikattiyur

There are 284 students studying in

PUPS Narikattiyur with only 4classrooms

available in the school. The school struggled to

teach children without classrooms and they

have to teach under the trees before the school

and in the nearby temple. SSA sanctioned 2

classrooms at a cost of Rs 13,00,000 and Rs.

6,50,000/- was contributed by the SMC and

donors. With this donation a building with 2

classrooms and cupboard, store room and

staircase have been constructed. Also library

and computer lab with AC were built. Students‟

learning interest is stimulated with wall

paintings drawn through BaLA work. The

school is regularly visited by the parents, the

public and other school teachers. The school

seems a role model to other government

schools and it creates a positive impact and

confidence in govt. schools among the public.

Voice of Pupil T. Shalini, IV std

I was studying 4thstd at Vellamaal Matriculation school. My daddy heard about

this school and its facility so he admitted me at Narikattiyur. Here I feel a comfortable

learning atmosphere. Here all classrooms are hygiene and neat. Also paintings are on

every classroom wall and school compound wall, which are very attractive. It captures

our attention and make us feel happy. Here we have a computer lab with air conditioner

and projector. I love my school.

Karur District

Voice of Head Teacher - Mrs. Vijayalalitha

The school was started in 1956. In 2002 the school was running with one

teacher and 5 students. After a great and regular effort the number of students has

been increased to 284. The concern and support of SMC, PTA and public are very

useful for our schools development. We feel proud to say that our school has more

facilities than other private schools. Our school is receiving best complements from the

public. I could proudly say that 108 students have shifted their study to our school from

private schools. Government school teachers and other department staff eagerly

admitted their wards in our school for good education.

Sufficient infrastructure is the most important factor in determining quality

education. It became the major problem of GBHHS-Mannachanallur. Some of the

classes were taught in open arena under trees. This type of teaching is not only difficult

for students to concentrate on what the teachers teach but inevitably limit the amount of

time they can spend on learning their subject. Only three class rooms were allotted to

the school but the Head Master took a Special Initiative through SMC contribution and

converted it into five classrooms successfully. This special contribution by the SMC and

the HM is appreciated and it remains as an example of a good rapport between the

community and the school.

Tiruchirapalli District

1. Innovative Infra

The infra-structure of the school plays a vital role in determining the quality of

education. The infra-structure is not limited with a pucca building, functional toilets,

drinking water facility, ramp and compound wall but it extends to micro but essential

needs such as hand washing station, dustbins and bookstand etc. PUMS,

Narasingapuram proves to be a role model school in this aspect. The children of this

locality collect the waste plastic bottles and they prepare Garbage cane, book stand,

awareness display to save nature and chalk-piece stands near blackboard.

“Winners don’t do different things, But they do things differently”

The divergent usage of waste water bottles serves multipurpose such as

protecting the environment, fulfilling the micro, basic amenities and kindly a sense of

awareness to save the nature.

Readymade Desk

The children of PUMS, Mela Poossaniyuthu suffer lack of furniture and under

Design for change; they decide to make desks of their own. From internet sources, they

surf and invent a novel usage of waste box-covers, they stick them together and paint

and this new intervention make a mighty readymade desk.

2. Safe Mode Urinating System - PUMS A.Kurumbapatty, Manaparai Union, Trichy District

“Piddle without hurdle”

Safe Mode Pissing System is economical. The cost of setting a commercial

urine tank is so high, but the cost of urine tank which these children have made is less.

Because, as part of recycling, they used those containers from shop which are often

used, damaged and has leakage. They also used it as a dustbin in schools and in

classrooms as a water bucket, scrub sweeps and so on. When the schools are ready to

use this, the expenses made by the school would drastically reduce.

They had taken this chance to express the thoughts of the students and observe

the motive of the scheme CLEAN INDIA by sending this scheme to all students (Like

schools, Colleges etc.,) Clean India, a step more towards Cleanliness.

PUMS A.Kurumbapatty, Manaparai Union, Trichy District

In 2014, The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India

launched „Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya‟ (SBSV) initiative to ensure that all schools

in India have access to separate functional toilets for boys and girls. The initiative also

has its emphasis on promoting safe and appropriate hygiene practices in schools and

behavior among children.

This programme has been a very gratifying project over the past 3 years. It has

paved access for every student to sanitation facilities including toilets, school

cleanliness and safe drinking water.

SBSV has created awareness

Among students about School Campus Cleanliness and necessity of

Cleanliness.

Among the teachers/parents and also among the public

“Muzhu Sugadhara Tamizhagam”

To attain the goal of Swachh Bharath

Swachh Vidhyalaya (Muzhu Sugadhara

Tamizhagam in Tamil Nadu) a school level

competition in topics like hygiene and sanitation,

ill effects of open defecation and spitting, keeping

our natural environments free from chemical

intoxication, to practice safe and hygienic

Construction of School Toilets

Following instructions from the MHRD and as per the stipulations of the RTE Act

2009, the current status of the norm of separate toilets for all boys and girls in the

schools of Tamil Nadu, was investigated by SSA.

In order to ensure 100 percent coverage of all schools with functional toilets both

for boys as well as girls, SSA Tamil Nadu has taken tremendous efforts to provide these

facilities. In collaboration with the Rural Development Department and through schemes

like Comprehensive School Infrastructure Development Scheme (CSIDS), Member of

Legislative Assembly Constituency Development Scheme (MLACDS), Member of

Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) and through Corporate Social

Responsibility by Public Sector Undertakings/Corporates (Neyveli Lignite Corporation,

NTPC, ONGC, EIL, AAI, SAIL and Titan) toilet facilities have been provided to 6157

schools (7927 toilets) that reflected in MHRD U DISE gap 2013-14.

MHRD has deputed officials to review the progress of construction of school

toilets under Swachh Bharath Swachh Vidyalaya and also to look at the implementation

of the Mid Day Meal/ SSA/ RMSA schemes in Tamil Nadu. The feedback of these

central observers was really overwhelming and the efforts taken by the State

Government to achieve the target of Swachh Bharath Swachh Vidyalaya was highly

appreciated.

Special Initiatives

Apart from the toilet gap that has been reflected in MHRD U DISE 2013-14,

DRDA has constructed 4002 toilet units across the State. Public Sector Undertakings

like BEL AAI, TNTPO and TIDCO have constructed 160 toilet units to cater to the needs

of schools where there is dire need for additional toilets.

During SMC meeting, the community was given awareness on cleanliness &

hygiene and proper sanitation. Teachers of both primary & upper primary schools were

given awareness in the CRC on School Sanitation.

The Government of Tamil Nadu has issued a GO No: 77 especially for

maintaining the school toilets by the local body administration, and an amount of Rs.

160.77 crores has been earmarked for this maintenance. Maintenance grants under

SSA have been utilized principally for making the schools toilets functional.

In continuation of the above GO, Rural Development Department has issued GO

No: 151 for engaging sanitary workers and provision of cleaning materials (Rs.57.63

crores). As per GO No. 72 RD releases fund for development of School infrastructure

under Comprehensive School Infrastructure Development Scheme. (Rs. 100.00crores)

“Capacity building for promoting Clean Schools in Tamil Nadu”

Tamil Nadu is one of India‟s most progressive states on several economic and

social indicators. It always takes a lead in pioneering various activities. “The Vision

Tamil Nadu 2023” is one of such documents released by the Honourable Chief Minister

for the strategic plan for infrastructure development in Tamil Nadu. One of the Ten

themes identified in Vision TamilNadu 2023 is Tamil Nadu will provide the best

infrastructure services in India in terms of universal access to Housing, Water &

Sanitation, Energy, Transportation, Irrigation, Connectivity, Healthcare, and Education.

The State aims to promote an “Open Defecation Free” status under this vision

statement namely “Muzhu Sugadhara Tamizhagam‟‟ and Promoting Clean Schools in

the State.

I Phase - State Level Training

Muzhu Sugadhara Tamizhagam” is a campaign of the Government of TamilNadu to promote cleanliness, health and hygiene. A key feature of the campaign is to ensure that every school in Tamil Nadu has a set of functioning and well maintained water, sanitation and hygiene facilities. Water, sanitation and hygiene in schools refer to a combination of technical and human development components that are necessary to produce a healthy school environment and to develop or support appropriate health

and hygiene behaviours. The technical components include drinking water, hand washing, toilet and soap facilities in the school compound for use by children and teachers. School sanitation and hygiene depend on a process of capacity enhancement of Teachers, Community members, School Management Committees (SMCs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Education Administrators.

UNICEF is a partner with the Government for implementation of Clean India and Clean Schools. In order to promote clean schools in Tamil Nadu, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has organized two days State Level Workshop programme in coordination with UNICEF for orienting the Chief Educational Officers, Additional Chief Educational Officers and District Elementary Educational Officers of all districts in Chennai.

Neat and tidy infrastructure

Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidhyalaya

scheme launched by our Honourable Prime

Minister concentrates on implementing ten

recommendations and the fifth one is

handwashing. The habit of proper hand

washing in 6 stages should be inculcated

from the childhood days of the children. To

emphasize a perfect hand washing habit,

PUMS-Vaaliparai has constructed a new

fangled hand washing station in stainless steel supported with 12 taps. These taps are

constructed face to face. The determination of the Head teacher to animate the children

to share their ideas and views is reflected even in the construction of the Hand washing

station. The children of the school are fascinated and they practice proper hand

washing everyday before and after meals.

The Swachh Vidyalaya initiative has defined the essential elements of Water,

Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools which are categorized under Water, Sanitation,

Handwashing with Soap, Operations and Maintenance, Behavior Change Activities

and Capacity Building.

It is required that the components of this basic minimum package are

commonly understood and used by all schools as a means to achieve desired

service levels in water, sanitation and hygiene practices. Following the launch of the

initiative, the state, district and local governments as well as schools across the

country have significantly improved sanitation facilities in schools. They are striving

to improve access and have introduced child friendly designs, maintenance

practices, effective monitoring using ICT tools, behavior change communication, new

financing options and forging partnerships. These good practices need to be

recognized and shared for accelerating and sustaining the achievements of the

Swachh Vidyalaya initiative.

In the year 2016, The Swachh Vidyalaya Puraskar is instituted by the Ministry

of Human Resource Development, Government of India to recognize, inspire and

celebrate excellence in sanitation and hygiene practice in Schools. The explicit

purpose of the awards is to honor schools that have undertaken significant steps

towards fulfilling the mandate of the Swachh Vidyalaya Campaign.

Children are agents of Change

Schools are an established entry point for learning. They present an opportunity

to engage parents and community in general, either through knowledge dissemination

via children or through direct engagement and demonstration at the school. Children are

fast learners and adapt their behaviour more easily than adults. Children are also

effective role models. They may question existing practices in their households and

choose to demonstrate good hygiene. What they learn at school is likely to be passed

on to their peers and siblings, and to their own children if they become parents.

The process for identifying and recognizing schools for awards: The awards were open to all Government schools in both rural & urban areas. Schools

have registered and submitted information as per the prescribed format made available

online (http://mhrd.gov.in → Swachh Vidyalaya → Swachh Vidyalaya Puraskar) or by

downloading a mobile app, Swachh Vidyalaya Puraskar. The registration of schools had

been done with the U-DISE code of the school.
