JAMMU, May 13: A meeting was organized by members of the Central Executive Body of Jammu and Kashmir Private Schools Association (JKPSA) to take stock of sufferings of Private Schools functioning in far flung areas of district Udhampur here today.
Members from the district of Udhampur, including Poni, Majalta, Battal, and Dhema, were present on the occasion and expressed grave concern about the delay in the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education issuing affiliations.
The members said the decision for the disposal of all files which were submitted on online mode after completing all required formalities needed for the grant of extension / up gradation of affiliation has been prolonged as despite granting timely affiliation officials of the JKBOSE are now demanding fresh NOCs.
They said that obtaining NOCs from different departments is a hectic exercise as one has to move from pillar to post because authorized officials who issue NOCs usually issue from district or divisional headquarters. The owners of the private schools alleged that due to the absence of a time bound & single window clearance system, they feel harassed by the officials of the different departments.
President of the Association Ajay Gupta appealed to Dr Piyush Singla, Administrative Secretary, School Education Department to intervene to streamline the functioning of JKBOSE. He demanded an online mechanism for single window clearance for the issuance of all NOCs from the different departments which are needed for the affiliation extension recognition of private schools in a time bound manner. Gupta also appealed for the immediate disposal of all files which are gathering dust in JKBOSE from 2022 without any delay.
