The district administration is keen to improve conditions in BC welfare hostels with the periodic inspections as surprise visits by senior officials changed the situation at the grass root level.
As many as 9,000 students are studying 82 hostels located in various mandals. Additional Joint Collector T.Baburao Naidu and incharge BC welfare officer Surangi Mohana Rao recently inspected hostels of Kotabommali, Rajam and other places to oversee the food quality, quantity and maintenance of the premises.
The officials observed that a few employees were not keen on performing their duties properly.
It led to mass transfers so that it would act as a deterrent among the staff.
For the first time, the BC Welfare department transferred many employees including hostel welfare officers and cooks through counselling to discipline them .
The department observed that many students proved themselves in class X exams by scoring up to 572 marks despite many hurdles in hostels.
They decided to chalk out an action plan to achieve 100 per cent results in the current academic year by providing all the support to the students.
As many as 1,771 students out of 2,105 passed in X class exams in 2010-11 academic year.
“We could achieve 84.13 per cent results in class X. Now we are targeting 100 per cent by providing additional facilities in all 82 hostels,” said Mr. Mohana Rao.
