District Collector asks PM SHRI schools to utilise funds
A leader called the District Collector talked to school principals in Mahbubnagar.
Her name is Khushboo Gupta.
She told them to use the money given by the Central government within one week.
The money is meant to make schools better for students.
She said there is no shortage of money for the schools.
She wants improvements to be real and visible, not just written on paper.
Schools should fix things like doors, windows, ramps, drains, fans, and lights.
They should take pictures before and after repairs and keep proper records.
She will visit the schools herself to check that the work is done.
This will help students get better and safer school facilities.
District Collector Khushboo Gupta directed headmasters of PM SHRI schools in Mahbubnagar to utilise all available Central funds within the next week.
A review on Friday addressed utilisation of central funds and the progress of developmental works in the schools.
The Collector said there is no shortage of funds and that spending must bring visible improvements, not merely be shown as spent.
Headmasters must record expenditure details and include before-and-after photographs with date and GPS coordinates for repair works.
Repairs are required for damaged doors, windows, and ramps, along with checks on drainage, gates, fans, lights, and girls' toilet facilities.
The Collector will give priority to PM SHRI schools in field-level inspections starting next week.
