Critism Of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme

•  Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV), an education scheme for the girl students of rural areas has failed to take off in the state as the requisite posts for KGBVs were not filled even after 11 years of its introduction. Due to the corruption is the education department several non-deserving teachers were wrongly recruited in the first batch for KGBV. After criticism from various corners successive governments have failed to fill the other vacancies till date.
• Official records reveal that there are only 99 KGBVs registered in the state, with several of them non-functional while the number of teachers in these schools is 700.
• Meanwhile, sources in the SSA department reveal that most of the wardens for these schools are already working on higher wages in other schools of the state thus further affecting in the smooth functioning of the scheme.
• Most of the wardens appointed by state for KGBV's are already working as teachers in other state run schools. They are not able to deliver their best in either of the schools.
• "As per the guidelines set by Ministry of Human Resource and Development, the state government was supposed to recruit seven teachers, one cook and an accountant on contractual basis besides a female warden- the only permanent post for each KGBV. However only blue eyed people were employed during the inception of the scheme but then no fresh recruitment were made.
• Launched by Government of India in the August 2004 KGBV scheme was integrated with the already existing Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) to provide elementary educational facilities and set up residential schools at upper primary level for girls belonging predominantly to the SC, ST, OBC and minorities in remote areas. However due to wrong implementation of the scheme as per the set guidelines, the scheme has failed to achieve its objectives.
