Adoption officials asked to visit schools weekly

District Collector Nishanth Kumar has taken a proactive step in the implementation of the ‘My School-My Pride’ programme, directing adoption officials to visit schools weekly. In a video conference held on Tuesday with officials from concerned departments, the District Collector outlined key measures to enhance the educational and health aspects of students.
During the conference, Kumar stressed the importance of adoption officers visiting schools regularly as part of their duty. He recommended identifying students lagging behind in specific subjects and implementing targeted strategies to strengthen their academic performance. The District Collector emphasized the need for meticulous checking of notebooks and workbooks by teachers.
On December 24, a special test is scheduled to assess the abilities of students who may be struggling, and appropriate actions will be taken based on the results. Kumar also addressed health concerns, directing Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) staff to take preventive measures against anemia. Negligence in this regard will result in disciplinary actions.
Highlighting the importance of regular supervision, Kumar emphasized that adoption officers should visit schools twice a week. He underscored the link between anemia and maternal/child deaths, instructing that Anganwadi centers should function efficiently to provide nutritious food to pregnant women and babies.
Kumar urged the swift progress of the Jaljeevan Mission for water supply and expedited construction of houses. He stressed the need for a seamless transition between construction stages and insisted that under the PM Jan Man campaign, 100 per cent of houses should be allotted to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). The preliminary estimate indicates 9825 families in need in the district, and engineering assistants were directed to complete the survey by December 31.
The District Collector also emphasized the speedy construction of individual toilets and the prompt completion of YSR Health Clinics. Additionally, Voter Registration Officers were instructed to promptly handle applications (Form 6, 7, 8) received for voter list amendments. The comprehensive directives aim to enhance the educational and health infrastructure for the overall well-being of the community.
