Schools sans blackboards

Sir,
Refer article ‘25% schools without blackboard’ DE Sept 1.
It is unbelievable that a school can function without a blackboard. It is one of the basic requirements for a school to function. Now when private schools are providing the facility of smart classes, some Government schools do not have the facility of blackboards.
The author has righty said that the greatest harm to the cause of school education is being inflicted by none other the so called educationists or learned planners of the country.
The planners usually fail to implement schemes they frame. In J&K Sarva Shiksha Abhyan (SSA) has not achieved much objectives despite having large sums of money at their disposal. It was reported that the  Department could not utilise the money it was allotted. Unless there is accountability, no system works perfectly.
Yours etc…….
