Swami Atmanand School now under the responsibility of Education Department
R.D. Irregularities in Tiwari School repair will be investigated
School Education Minister Brijmohan Aggarwal has said that in the name of Chhattisgarh’s great personality, educationist, social reformer and pioneer of public awakening, Swami Atmanand ji, the then government has not only improved the education and future of the students by opening excellent English and Hindi medium schools across the state. Not only have they played with it, but have also tarnished the name of Swami Atmanand ji.
By handing over the responsibility of running these schools to the committee formed under the chairmanship of the Collector, the then government has handed over their future to the wishes of the Collectors.
This is not appropriate under any circumstances for the education system of the state and the future of the students.
In view of the current status of education, irregularities and mismanagement in Swami Atmanand schools, our government has decided to abolish with immediate effect the committees formed under the chairmanship of collectors for its operation.
Now it will be the responsibility of the Education Department to ensure better education system in Swami Atmanand schools.
Education Minister Brijmohan Aggarwal said the above things while discussing with the journalists after replying to the attention drawn in the Assembly today regarding the mismanagement of Swami Atmanand schools and the irregularities prevailing there. Minister Aggarwal said that Swami Atmanand is revered in the entire country. We all have respect for him. The names of great personalities by whom these schools were earlier known will again be added before Swami Atmanand.

Aggarwal also said that if any complaint of irregularity is received regarding Swami Atmanand Schools, it will be investigated. He said that there is a possibility of a scam of about Rs 800 crore in the reconstruction of Swami Atmanand schools and other items in the state.
Wherever complaint is received, it will be investigated. RD of capital Raipur alone. In Tiwari School itself, about Rs 4.5 crore was spent on repairing the building, whereas a new building could have been constructed with this amount.
