Construction of Community Study Centres

As a follow up action on the Sachar Committee recommendations, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of School Education and Literacy has instructed all States/UTs that the existing schools and community buildings could be used in the evenings as study centres and existing teachers could be engaged as tutors on payment of honorarium to teach the willing students including girls, who could be accompanied by guardians. Giving this information in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Shri Vincent H. Pala, Minister of State for Minority Affairs, said that the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) fund can be utilized for construction of community study centres for students in urban slums, provided such assets are open to community at large without any restrictions.
