Lok Sabha MP Kalipada Saren Kherwal’s Special Mention demanding the early completion of construction of, and the starting of admissions at the Eklavya Model Residential School in Pansa village in Jhargram constituency
Respected Chairperson, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to raise an important matter of my constituency. The construction work of the Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) has got started at Punshya of Bandwan Assembly area in my Constituency some four years back. As of now, only a portion of boundary wall has been constructed. The construction work of the school building has not been started even after a lapse of over four years. Many tribal children want to get admission into Class-VI at EMRS in my constituency. But due to limitation of seats in the other EMRS, many students are being deprived of getting a quality education in such a reputed school. If the construction of EMRS in Punshya were completed right now, several tribal children could have been getting better education. Since its work is incomplete, the local people are in the mode of anger and agitation. Therefore, I request the hon. Minister of Tribal Affairs, through you, to kindly look into this matter urgently and intervene immediately so that the construction works of the EMRS in Punshya be completed soon and admission in respective classes could be started from the next academic session itself. Thank you.
