Darbar move: CBSE schools told to be flexible in admissions

Additional classrooms can be built after permission

Krishna District Collector Babu A. has asked managements of CBSE schools in city to adopt a flexible stand while admitting children of the employees of the Secretariat who would soon be shifting from Hyderabad to Amaravati.

At an emergency meeting called to discuss the issue with representatives of CBSE schools in city, Mr. Babu said schools must have received many enquiries at the time of admissions in the current academic year.

Govt. determined

If needed schools should construct additional classrooms after getting permission from the Municipal Corporation.

Pointing to the July 27 deadline set by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for head of the departments in the Secretariat to shift from Hyderabad to the interim Secretariat under construction at Velagapudi in Amaravati area, he said the Government was determined to start functioning from the Amaravati region in a full-fledged manner at the earliest.

By next year, the entire government machinery will work from Amaravati as the over 6,000 officers and employees would have migrated to Andhra Pradesh by then.

But for now, a part of them would be coming and there was a need to accommodate their children in the schools around, he said.

The meeting was attended by Sub-Collector G. Srujana, Krishna District Education Officer A. Subba Reddy, Deputy DEO Ravi Kumar and representatives of schools- Lawrence from NSM Public School, G.B. Antony from Nirmala High School, Sr. Balapushpam from Atkinson Higher Secondary School, J. Manjula from K.K.R. Gowtham School, Sanjay Bhatia from Delhi Public School, B. Venkateswarlu from Nalanda Vidya Niketan, N. Padmakala from K.K.R. International School, N. Pardhasaradhy from Siddhartha Public School and I. Gyana Sundar from St. John’s School.
