  Arya, National Seismic Advisor, Ministry of Home
  Affairs, Government of India. He sent his
  detailed comments vide his letter no. nil dt.

• By Lord's grace I was associated as an Executive
  Engineer, Design Quality Control, Ganga Bridge
  at Buxar and as an Executive Engineer in-charge
  of the construction of Ganga Bridge at Patna
  during 1973 to 1980. The experience gained during
  the construction of the prestigious project has
  helped me to contribute my humble lot in the
  construction of earth quake resistant buildings
  under SSA.

• The Civil Works are spread in whole of Bihar.
  Junior Engineers, Assistant Engineers Executive
  Engineers are providing technical assistance in
  construction of civil works. Technical
  Supervisors are also supervising the civil works.
  Our main thrust is on imparting extensive
  intensive training to the VSS/adhoc samiti
  responsible for the construction of civil works.
  S.R.G. members are also providing technical
  assistance in the construction of civil works.

• Paucity of fund is the main constraint which is
  the hindering the progress of the civil works.
  We have impressed upon the MHRD, Govt. of India
  to release the second advance. On the receipt of
  the same we shall able to start all the new civil
  works sanctioned under 2011-12 and complete the
  on going works. We have started the process of
  filling of vacant posts of technical personnel.
• We have completed 99 of the civil works
  sanctioned up to AWPB 2005-06.

• During AWPB 2006-07 massive sanction of 15,000
  (fifteen thousand) New School Buildings and
  61,000 (sixty one thousand) Additional Class
  Rooms were accorded by the PAB.
• It tooks nearly one year to organise the
  management structure.
• So, the major portion of this sanction spilled
  over. During year 2008-09, there was a spurt in
  the inflation rate that hindered the completion
  of the spilled over works.

• We have still 4496 school buildings as deferred
  liabilities. The fund was sanctioned in AWPB
  2011-12 on the old rates.
• We are getting land slowly but the unit cost of
  the N.S.B. spilled over is hindering the
  completion of the works.
• We have 21 flood affected districts which also
  contribute a lot in late completion of the works.

8

• We have stream limed our district management
  structure. Now we have separate District
  Programme Officers
• for execution of SSA schemes.
• planning and Accounts
• Establishment so on coordinated guided by the
  District Education Officer. Formerly we had only
  an officer for SSA works. This re-organisation
  will accelerate the pace of completion.

We are constantly monitoring our schemes from
grass root level to state level. We have a
dedicated team. We have completed 77 of all the
sanctioned civil works schemes up to 2010-11 and
are steadily marching towards the completion of
all the sanctioned schemes during 2012-13. ge
