Parliamentary Panel Highlights Delays in Eklavya Model Residential Schools Construction
A parliamentary standing committee has criticised ongoing delays in constructing and operationalising Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) for Scheduled Tribe students. Of 728 sanctioned schools, only 428 buildings were completed by April, with 249 under construction and 51 yet to start. The panel expressed concern over 118 schools operating from non-permanent premises and rising construction costs. It recommended establishing an independent agency to monitor progress and resolve bottlenecks to ensure timely completion and functionality of these schools.
