Sukhu directed the officers concerned to complete formalities for setting up schools in a time-bound manner and formulate parameters for their administrative control. “A calendar of activities for the whole year will be prepared for all schools,” he added.

He said that the headmaster or the principal of the school would have to send regular information about teachers going on leave to the Deputy Director’’s office. “This will help in ensuring the presence of teachers in schools,” he added.
