which are empanelled under RSBY. These hospitals are Jagat Hospital and Ayodhya Eye

Hospital, Ayodhya. The District Development Officer of Faizabad Shri Tripathi and the

representative of ICICI Lombard Insurance Company Shri Ashish Pandey accompanied me

during visit.

a) Jagat Hospital, Faizabad: This is a well established hospital of the town. Dr. S. M.Dwivedi is the owner of the hospital. He briefed me about the treatment given topatients under RSBY scheme. I also interacted with two patients who were admitted

in the hospital and were beneficiaries of the scheme.b) Ayodhya Eye Hospital: This hospital functions under the aegis of a trust Mani

some of the beneficiaries who have got their smart cards, do not know its use. The

awareness programme should be run through local Pradhans.

y These hospitals informed that there is no problem regarding getting their claim.They are getting the claims in time.

training material (14,49,183.00). But despite spending this much amount on different items,there was no tangible sign of modernization in the ITI. The condition of the buildings and the

campus was very poor. The class rooms and workshops are still in There is a huge lot ofold unserviceable machines tools and equipments lying here and there in the campus.

Similarly old furniture are also stacked in the building which not only occupy a large spacebut also a big fire hazard.

y It was reported that only Rs 15.5 lakhs has been spent from the loan amount of Rs2.5 crores. There was no sign of modernization in the ITI.

y The condition of class rooms and workshops are in very dilapidated condition.y It seems that neither any member of IMC nor the officials of the State Directoratehas paid any attention towards this.

election purposes and did not vacate those rooms as yet. It has created scarcity of

space in the ITI.

I visited this ITI on 14/05/2010. Shri Raj Kumar Has joined as Principal of this ITI on

basically a Charted Accountant and runs a small industry of wire cable.

This ITI has also been taken for upgradation under the scheme Upgradation of 1396Government ITIs through Public Private Partnership in the year2008-09. The utilization of

fund by the IMC is very negligible and Rs 3,75,170.00 only has been spent so far out of theloan amount of Rs 2.5 crores.

Issues:After visiting the above mentioned four ITIs which are under the scheme Upgradation of1396 Government ITIs through Public Private Partnership, following issues emerged which

requires to be resolved:

a) The IMCs have not functioned properly as there was vacancy of Principals in the ITIs andthe Principals who are holding the additional charge are not paying adequate attention in

IMC affairs.

b) The utilization of fund is low because there is lack of coordination between IndustryPartner and the ITI Principal. There is need for monthly review of the functioning of IMC by

the state directorate so that matter of dispute may be resolved immediately.

c) The State Government should take due care in selection of Industry Partner. Only potentialindustries should be considered for Chairmanship of the IMC.

d) The IMC Chairman and the ITI Principal should be made accountable for non

performance and legal action should be taken against defaulters.

year 1946. There is sufficient space in the office. The Coaching cum Guidance Centre for Sc

and ST is also functioning in the same building. During my visit to this office Shri SushilKumar, Regional Employment Officer and other staff members of this office were present. Idiscussed with them about the activities of this office and major issues. There is no

computerization of the works and all entries and registrations are manual. The basicamenities like drinking water, toilets, ceiling fans in the main registration hall, signage, etc,

should be improved.

It was reported that during 2009-10, the total number of candidate registered at thisemployment exchange was 9143, out of names of 1010 were sent and only 61 could get

employment. It was also informed that this year (2010), three Rojgar Melas have beenorganized where 173 candidates have got employment.

5. National Child Labour Project (NCLP) School at Gorakhpur.

I was informed by the District Authorities that at present only one school is runningunder National Child Labour Project (NCLP) in Gorakhpur District. On 13/05/2010 I visited

this school located at Village - Manbela, PO Jhugia Bazar, about 15 kms from the districtheadquarters. The Project Officer of NCLP was also present. This school is functioning since

01/12/2007 with the assistance of an NGO Veena Siksha Samiti, Hazaripur, District Gorakhpur.

Being located away from the town of Gorakhpur, this school has got reasonably good

accommodation in the prescribed rent. There are three small rooms, two of which are usedfor classes and one for store. Two teachers were present who have been engaged for a

nominal emolument of Rs 1500.00 per month. During my visit students were studying in twoclasses. While interacting with the students

y I found that they have got basic literacy level and are able to read and write.Before coming to school, most of these students were involved in rag picking.The number of girl students was almost half and they are doing better than boys.

It was informed that vocational education is given to girls for tailoring, whileboys are taught about making of packets and decoration material.

y It was also informed that five student have been brought under main stream sofar. I also interacted with some guardians of the students who had come there. Ifound that both students and the guardians want that such education is very useful.

y The guardians informed that there was a lot of behavioral changes instudents after coming to school. They have learnt some etiquettes.

I checked the attendance register and medical check-up cards of the students. The

health check-up cards were not found satisfactory as I cross checked the some of the entriesmade in them. Students informed that they are occasionally given some diets like biscuits,

banana, and bread. However during my visit,

hichdi was being prepared for students butfrom the appearance of the kitchen, it looked as it was being used after a very long time.

The students haven provided with study materials.

After visiting the school, I got an impression that the DistrictAuthorities have left

the school on the discretion of the NGO who is not paying adequate attention. Thecondition of the class rooms was not satisfactory. The broken black-board of the class roomand the sign board of the school should be replaced. The Project Director should visit the

school periodically to check the health record, attendance of teachers and students andprovision of food etc.

I visited the office of Regional Labour Commissioner (C), Lucknow on 14/05/2010. Ihad meeting and discussion with Shri D. P. Singh, RLC(C), Lucknow and other officials

Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh, in her office and I discussed with her about my

observations during the visit of different Govt. ITIs and other issues concerned with thescheme - Upgradation of 1396 Government ITIs through Public Private Partnership. MsArchana Agrawal, Secretary and Shri Banarsi Singh, Joint Director were also present in the

meeting.

The issues which were discussed:

utilization by the IMCs of four ITIs which I visited during this tour.

b) Conflict between Industry Partners of the IMCs and the Principals of the ITIs: This issue was

discussed in reference to ITI Deoria where there no coordination at all between the Industry Partner

and the Principal. There is no sign of development in the ITI despite the fund to the tune of Rs 2.5crores has been made available since March 2008. The Industry Partner has complained about some

irregularities committed by the Principal. Though an inquiry was conducted by the Joint Director butno action has been taken as yet.

c) Vacancy of Principals in ITIs: At Gorakhpur, one Shri Arvind Kumar is holding the charge of four

ITIs. He was holding the charge of principal of ITI Railway Colony Gorakhpur also. However a newprincipal was posted there in the month on January 2010, but Shri Arvind Kumar has not handedover the important records like cash book, cheque books, etc to the new incumbent as yet. This has

impeded the works of the IMC. I requested the Principal Secretary, Technical Education, Govt. of

U.P to take necessary action in this matter. I also requested that the Director and the Joint Directors

should hold regular meetings of the IMCs to resolve the disputes.
