Nearly 1500 students of Mushtifund High School will be moved to its new premise at the integrated school complex at Cujira, Bambolim, when the school reopens on June 6, for the academic year 2016-17.
Addressing a press conference at the new complex, Mushtifund Saunstha president Anil Counto said, “We will shift nearly 1500 students studying in standard V to X. Though this Phase I which has been completed is exclusively for the students of primary section, we have decided to shift the high school students first. From next year onwards, the high school students will be shifted to the next building and primary student will be shifted in Phase I.”
Aiming at implementing the concept of a ‘smart school’, the classrooms have been provided with facilities like TVs, projectors, smart boards and WiFi, among others. Additionally the facility of video-conferencing has also been provided.
“The State Government had provided us with an area of 10,000 sqmts and also promised us an additional FAR of 20 per cent. So the built up area will be nearly 13,000 sqmts. We have already constructed on an area of 5,000 sqmts. The total cost of construction has come up to Rs 9.65 crore. In phase II, the built up area will be 6,000 sqmts. It will have an auditorium to cater to all 1500 students where various activities can be organised,” he said.
Additionally, the management also has plans to set up a state-of-the-art library.
To provide transportation facilities to the students, buses have been arranged from Panaji.
“The State Government has already given us Bal Raths which will be used to ferry students. As per the suggestions given by the parents, we will have ferry nearly 60 per cent of our students. We will also hire buses from Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited. We have chalked out different routes for the same,” said Counto.
