<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
Note:-<\/div>\n
(1) The Educational Officers may examine the need for additional site in each case and order the provision of the same with the sanction of the Director.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(2) In the case of Basic Schools the area of the site and the dimensions of the classrooms should be as prescribed by the Director. These schools are expected to have sufficient land for agricultural purposes.<\/div>\n
\n

2. Selection of site \u2013<\/h3>\n
(1) Sites for school buildings should be on elevated level and they should be well drained and in clean and healthy surroundings. Land under wet cultivation or with made soil or soil retentive of moisture should be avoided. The sites should be accessible to all communities. A proper approach road should be provided where the school is near a main road. A board giving the full name and designation of the school should also be put up in front of the school.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(2) School in urban areas should as far as possible be so located that they are free from the noise and congestion of the city or the town. The neighborhood of dusty and noisy roads and of shops and factories should as far as possible be avoided. The vicinity of tanks and canals is a disadvantage to school.<\/div>\n
Provided that this rule shall not apply to existing schools.<\/div>\n

3. Playground and Garden \u2013<\/h3>\n
(1) The sites should be provided with compound walls or good fencing.<\/div>\n

\n
(3) The compound should be kept fairly levelled and clear of rank vegetation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(4) The manager and Head of every school should put forth their best efforts for laying out gardens in the premises. Efforts also should be made for planting suitable trees in the school compound so that pupils may play and rest under them during leisure hours. Care should be taken to see that trees are so planted as not to (a) reduce unduly the space available for play, and (b) obstruct the entry of the light into the class rooms or in course of time cause damage to the structure.<\/div>\n

4. School buildings to be situated away from places of burial or cremation and liquor shops:-<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
(1) No school building shall be situated within a distance of\u00a050 metres\u00a0<\/b>from a public burial place or public cremation ground. In the case of concrete Vaults, the distance shall not be less than\u00a025 metres.<\/b>\u00a0The Public burial place or public cremation ground or the concrete vaults shall not be visible from the school site. The visibility shall be prevented by constructing adequately high walls, not less than\u00a06 feet<\/b>\u00a0in height in between the burial place or cremation ground or the concrete vaults, as the case may be and the school compound.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
(2) School in urban areas should as far as possible be so located that they are free from the noise and congestion of the city or the town. The neighborhood of dusty and noisy roads and of shops and factories should as far as possible be avoided. The vicinity of tanks and canals is a disadvantage to school.<\/div>\n
