About performance of school during 2005-06 it is, heartening to note that 106 new students were admitted in classes from KG to 5^th standard, enhancing the total strength of the school to 286. 37 students have failed while 250 have passed in their annual examinations.

The Flood of 26^th July 2005 damaged almost all schools, and Sadia Public School was no exception. After Flood we provided educational aid of Rs. 78,000 /- for 130 students of Indian Literacy Mission’s Sadia Public School, Mumbra. Temporarily some space has been hired for school classrooms and office. But no land could be purchased due to financial constraints. Recognition formalities for upper primary school (5-7) and 8^th standard have been completed. It is in pipe line. We expect Govt. approval this year.

IV. Scholarships:

D-1

Mr. Mukhtar Ahmad Khan was appointed as Executive Secretary for ASD. He first focused on refund of scholarship and before he could work for new adoption, due to his family problems; he left the assignment. After him, Khan Riyazur Rehman has been assigned the job. Hopefully in the year 2006-07, he will get some adoptions.

With efforts of Mr. Mukhtar Ahmad Khan, refund of Scholarship picked up some pace and by the end of 31^st March 2006, we have received scholarship refunds of Rs. 1,95,630/- from 15 ASD graduates.

E-1

The academic standard of AITC has fallen to considerable extent. So much so that result in 2005-06 was 44% in total. It was 88.33% in RAC trade while in electrician trade it was 7.69%. To improve the teaching and administrative standard of the institute, Mr. Khan Mukhtar Ahmad was appointed as Director; he was also provided two more teaching staff to fulfil the deficiency of teachers. But he left the job in between.

The Institute’s Principal missed the last date (of 30.11.2005) for submitting application for permission to run a new course in Motor Mechanic Vehicle trade. It is expected that in next year, we shall get the permission. Thanks to MAEF, Delhi who have sanctioned an amount of Rs. 6,00,000/- out of a total requirement of Rs. 12,00,000/- for tools and equipments for this trade. An amount of Rs. 4,20,000/- has already been received by us as 80% of the grant. Rest 20% is expected be released after submitting the utilization certificate. The purchase of tools and equipments are in progress.

With an object to develop the ‘Service Centre’ at AITC, a tour of students with instructor was made to Nasik along with the contractor to install electric meters. That experience was not successful as the staff along with teachers did not stand up to the task at Nasik.

Following group of three staff members at AITC have been assigned the responsibility to develop the ‘Service Centre’. Two other members from the managing committee have also been nominated.

The completion of the repairing of institute premises has been held up due to shortage of funds. The deficiency of staff has been removed. We hope in coming six months, some positive results will be seen as far as the results of the institute and development of ‘Service Centre’ are concerned.

Thanks to IMRC (USA) who have granted us an amount of Rs. 2,18,237/- for up gradation of the tools and equipments for RAC retrofit. The procurement and purchase of tools and equipments for the same is in progress.

The efforts to increase the student’s strength in six monthly and one year courses of Computer Application and Multilingual DTP at AJRCC has been affected by the Mumbai Flood and renovation work at the centre. At the pre admission period, the Mumbai Flood affected the admission campaign.

The on-going renovation work at the school premises that ran for almost six months during the time of admissions affected the admission process. So the attempt to increase the student’s strength did not bear fruits. During the session Oct. 04 to Sept. 05, 64 students were admitted, with 9 drop outs 55 students appeared in final examination of one year diploma course. All students have passed the examination successfully. During Oct. 05 to Sept. 06, 49 students were admitted against intake capacity of 60. Currently 2 drop outs have reduced the strength to 47. The building as well as computer lab renovation work is about to be completed. We need 10 more PCs for better capacity utilization.

For six monthly diploma in Office Automation and Computer Accountancy, 22 students against the intake of 25 were admitted during Jan. 05 to June 05. 12 students had appeared in the exam, only 6 passed. Of the second batch of 9 students only 6 appeared in examination, 5 have passed.
