Delhi's Education Minister said that an overall report would be prepared for the deteriorating condition of the schools in the national capital.

Delhi Education Minister on Monday told the Assembly that an action report would be drawn up regarding the deteriorating condition of schools in the national capital. Addressing the issue raised by different MLAs about school infrastructure during the current Delhi Assembly Budget Session, Minister Ashish Sood spoke.

A five-term BJP MLA from Gandhi Nagar, Arvinder Singh Lovely, pointed out the dilapidated condition of a school on Brahmapuri Main Road and stated that many schools in the Trans-Yamuna area were in the same condition. He asked the minister to give information about such schools, to which Sood replied that the required information would be gathered and shared in the House.

In a similar vein, BJP MLA Kulwant Rana brought to the notice of the House the sorry state of a school in Saheb Haderi.

Expressing concern over Pratibha Schools, BJP MLA OP Sharma from Vishwas Nagar alleged that several of them, constructed between 1993 and 1998, were closed by the previous government. He urged the government to open these schools again to support talented students.

In the meantime, AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha asked how many students had been provided with financial assistance at Delhi University till February 25. Sood promised to give a comprehensive report on this to the Assembly. The five-day budget session of the eighth Delhi Assembly continues.
