Purulia EMRS School Construction Delayed by Land Issues
Imagine a new school for tribal children in Purulia.
The school's start has been delayed.
The government says the state government took a long time to give the land.
The land was finally given in March 2025.
The state government is now in charge of building the school, but construction hasn't started yet.
The government has not yet given money for the construction.
The construction is estimated to cost 37.80 crore.
Construction of Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) in Bandwan, Purulia, delayed due to state government land allocation issues.
The Union Minister of State for Tribal Affairs informed the Lok Sabha about the delay.
Land was eventually allotted in March 2025, after requests and communications from NESTS and the Ministry.
Construction responsibility was given to the state government, but work is yet to begin.
The construction ceiling cost for the EMRS Bandwan is Rs 37.80 crore and no funds have been disbursed yet.
