Government
to convert welfare department schools to Plus Two cradles
The
state government has an ambitious plan up its sleeve to make primitive
tribe students doctors, engineers and IT professionals. According to
the plan, all the residential schools under the welfare department
would be upgraded to Plus Two. “We are preparing the model of the
Plus Two schools, which would be complete in two months’ time,”
said B.C. Nigam, the special secretary of welfare department. Soon
after the students complete their Plus Two, the department would train
the pupils wanting to become doctors, engineers and IT professionals
for the entrance examinations. The welfare department is making a list
of students who have passed either Class X or Class XII. “We will
ask each of them about their career choices and accordingly train them
or provide them with funds for higher education,” said an official.
Most primitive students drop out after matriculation, upgradation of
residential schools would help them continue their higher studies, he
explained. Meanwhile, welfare department is preparing a list of tribal
graduates would be offered appointment letters on August 15. (Source:
