Only 7 UP dists complete survey of govt schemes & geo-tagging of schools, BSAs warned of action if survey delayed further

Meerut: As only seven districts in Uttar Pradesh have completed a survey of government schemes and geo-tagging of schools despite repeated reminders, the authorities have warned of action against the basic shiksha adhikaris (BSAs) if the survey is delayed any further.
“We have noticed negligence on the part of BSAs in geo-tagging the primary and upper schools.The BSAs who fail to complete the geo-tagging before the deadline will have to face action,” reads an order issued by Vijay Kiran Anand, UP state project director.
According to a report prepared by the state authorities, only seven districts have completed the geo-tagging work, so far.
Notably, under “Operation Kayakalp”, several facilities — drinking water, blackboard, toilets, tiles, handwashing units, furniture and others — are being provided to the primary and upper primary schools. “A survey of these facilities and the geo-tagging should be completed, or else we would not be able to get the budget from the central government,” said Anand.
Districts, where 100% of work has been completed, include Sant Ravidas Nagar, Ballia, Hathras, Jalaun, Deoria, Etah, Maharajganj, while the districts meeting less than 50% of the target are Chandauli, Gonda, Ambedkarnagar, Lalitpur, Hardoi, Agra, Lakhimpur Kheri, Shravasti, Unnao and Mathura.
“If the work is not completed within two days, action will be taken against the erring BSAs, district coordinator (training) and district coordinator (construction),” warned Anand.
