Infrastructure Survey and School Uniform Survey in Banglar Shiksha Portal

 All schools in West Bengal are still closed due to the pandemic. Hon'ble Mamata Banerjee had recently announced that all schools would be reopened after the Puja holidays.

The Education Department has taken initial steps to make this announcement of Hon'ble Mamata Banerjee a success. The Department of Education has added two modules to the Banglar Shiksha Portal for the purpose of opening schools. These modules are Infrastructure Survey and School Uniform Survey.

Purpose of Infrastructure Survey in Schools:

Schools have been closed for a long time. There have been many natural disasters during this period. As a result, many school infrastructure has been damaged. This survey is very important for the purpose of repairing the infrastructure.

Cvd situations are still present in the state. Therefore, this survey is very important for the schools to be started in compliance with the health rules.

Guidelines for providing information on school reopening through BANGLAR SHIKSHA Portal

Before providing the input for different fields , the HoIs should go through the following instructions carefully.

1. The information to be provided through this module is meant for school reopening only following the CVD norms.

2. The idea is to restore the status of the school infrastructure as was before the suspension/closure of the schools for academic purposes and NOT FOR ANY NEW INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING.

3. Since such a requirement of funds has emerged out of the disuse of classrooms, toilets, MDM kitchen

sheds, electrical appliances ete, the amounts to be put should be for repair purposes only.

4. However, for the districts hit by cyclonic storm "YAAS'' or recent deluge, the amount may go up.

5. Therefore, while estimating the amount required for the above, the Hol is required to keep in mind that

the amounts put in respective sections are justified.

6. In no case, any school should put an exorbitant amount for any purpose.

7. Relevant photos (upto 100 KB) are required to be uploaded to justify the claims made. Photos should be of such nature that in case of physical inquiry, the same bear resemblance.

8. All amounts to be put must be in actual Rupees only.

9. However, it may be noted that ANY CLAIM may require vetting by the Field Level Jr. Engineers/Asstt. Engineers of SSM.
