Conversion of Non Govt. Aided Schools into Govt. Aided

Huge number of schools was not informed in time and missed to participate to express their choice…is there any provision to register their option now??

That is what I actually wanted to mean…a manual or online process should continue and all the schools be informed accordingly..so that a comprehensive status of all the schools choices can be procured.

DSE is also clueless and failed to inform when and wheather at all the process will resume..

The state government is set to initiate a process to bring more Madhyamik schools under its umbrella by recognising them as “government-sponsored” schools.
An online process has been formulated to identify those secondary schools which are not aided by government funds and are willing to convert themselves to government-sponsored ones. The officials of the department said that the move was aimed at extending facilities for development of secondary schools in the state and bringing them under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA). State education minister Bratya Basu said that the proposal would be placed in the state Cabinet for approval in its meeting on January 19.
An elaborate form was posted on the department’s website for the school authorities for their expression of willingness for conversion. “The upgradation would improve the school infrastructure like additional classrooms, libraries, toilets and residential hostels for teachers in case of the school being in remote areas,” a senior departmental official said.
At present, there are around 63 government-sponsored secondary schools in the state, while about 7,700 secondary schools are non-government-aided ones. The upgradation of an aided school into a government-sponsored one would imply that the president of such a school would be appointed by the state government and the state government would provide a lion’s share in the school’s expenditure.
Department sources said that the upgradation was necessary for ensuring that all secondary schools follow the prescribed norms to remove gender discrimination, socio-economic and disability barriers and to provide universal access to secondary-level education by 2017. The upgradation was necessary because different tiers of ownership were becoming a hurdle in the implementation of the RMSA. “The response to the invitation of expressions of interest on the conversion has been good. If the Cabinet gives its nod, schools that are willing to convert would be asked to submit a resolution of the management committee favouring the conversion after which the government would incorporate such schools under RMSA,” Mr Basu said.
According to sources in the education department, the number of expressions of interest received by the department from “willing” schools was 6,090 and only 59 schools were “unwilling” for the aforesaid conversion.

Is there any extension of date for filling such application for conversion?
