Tirupur: A bhoomi puja for the construction of Rs. 1 crore auditorium at Jaiva Bhai Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School was performed on Monday.

The rectangle-shaped auditorium with galvanised aluminium roof on the school premises would accommodate around 6,000 persons. The project was expected to be commissioned within four months from the date of commencement of work.

As part of the project aimed at infrastructure improvement of other Corporation-run schools, 24 additional class rooms each would be constructed at Nanjappa Corporation Boys Higher Secondary School and Palaniammal Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School at a total outlay of Rs 3.9 crore. “Construction works will start only after the necessary technical sanction has been accorded by the Commissioner of Municipal Administration in Chennai, since the prices quoted by the contractors in the price bids/tenders submitted for the two projects were found to be 22 per cent more than the outlay assessed by the government for the said projects,” a senior Corporation official said.

The repair and maintenance works being carried at various Corporation schools at a cost of Rs. 75 lakh would be completed before January 31.
