Bathinda, February 14
Academically brilliant students, scoring 80 per cent or more marks in Class X examinations will be able to enroll themselves in Special Residential School which is being built for them starting this academic season. The construction of the school is going on in full swing with three contractors being given the responsibility to finish the project at the earliest.
Although the CM had announced that he wished that the school should be completed by May and be able to cater to the students seeking admission in Classes XI to XII, the government will be able to announce opening of admissions starting July, when the school and its hostels are expected to be ready.
Work on fast track
The work on the school has been on the fast track ever since the CM announced it on July 26 during a function at the Giani Zail Singh Punjab Technical University last year. In the first week of September the district administration earmarked vacant land on the premises of the Giani Zail Singh Punjab Technical University campus, Bathinda, for the construction and the CM laid the foundation stone for the school on December 8.
Once the special school in Bathinda gets started, the CM may also announce similar schools in other parts of the state as well. "This school will be able to cater to the students of Bathinda, Mansa, Faridkot and other nearby areas. Once this school gets on its feet, the government will open similar schools in other parts of the state. These schools will aim at giving the best opportunities, free of charge, to brilliant students from economically backward families," the CM said.
Govt expecting more girls
Going by the fact that girls are outshining boys in the field of academics, the state government and the district administration are also expecting that more girls will be eligible for admission in the school as compared to boys.
The hostels of this residential school are being built in a manner to accommodate more girls. The construction of girls' hostel has already begun. It will have three blocks with more than 90 rooms to accommodate close to 600 girls. On the other hand, the boys' hostel will have only two blocks with the provision to accommodate 400 students.
The school building will be on the front and the area on the rear side of the school is being utilised to construct the hostels. The girls' hostel is being built on the left while the boys' on the right side.
Three contractors on job
The state government has roped in not one or two but three contractors to finish the construction of the school in time to start admitting students for the two classes starting the academic session 2014-15.
While the academic block and the boys' hostel are being built by Goyal Builders, the girls' hostel is being built by builder Ram Kumar Bansal and boundary wall, roads and pathways on the campus are being constructed by a Jaito firm, Balaji Enterprises.
