Delay in building new schools in Dhanas increasing pressure on existing ones

The delay in construction of the two new schools in erstwhile Colony Number 5, near Dhanas seems to have dissolved the motive behind the new education policy of the UT education department of controlling the enrolments in city government schools as per the RTE guidelines. Construction in both the schools, including secondary and senior secondary, was likely to conclude by March 31 as the department wanted to enrol local children in these schools with the beginning of the new session and reduce the burden on the neighbouring schools. DPI Kamlesh Kumar said that the burden on these schools would end soon after the construction of the new ones. Therefore, we have enrolled them in these schools and with the construction of the new schools in the area, the problem would end soon,” said Kumar.
