Nashik Municipal Corporation to build 100 toilet blocks for its schools
NASHIK: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is planning to create 154 toilet blocks in its schools at an estimated cost of Rs 1.8 crore.
As per norms of the Right to Education Act, schools must have separate
toilets for boys and girls. The NMC's education department has made a
budgetary provision in this regard for the current financial year.
"Among the 154 toilet blocks, 94 will be constructed for female
students and 60 for male pupils. The proposal will be approved at the
meeting and work will begin immediately. All existing toilets in the 129
schools of the NMC that need repair are being worked on," said NMC's education officer Nitin Upasani. Upasani said that once construction on the structures begins, it would
be completed within a few months. Principals have also been instructed
to keep the areas clean.
