The budget allocation covers the installation of CCTV cameras in a total of 116 NMC schools, which includes 88 primary and 28 secondary schools. This move is expected to significantly enhance the security of both students and school property.
The installation process had already begun last academic year, especially focusing on the safety of girl students. Out of the 28 secondary schools, CCTV systems have already been installed in 25 buildings. The remaining work is expected to be completed by July.
The control of these CCTV systems will be with the respective school principals and education officers. Additionally, a centralized control room will monitor surveillance feeds from all NMC schools. This will ensure regular monitoring from the central office and help prevent any untoward incidents within school premises.
