3. You may take help of NCERT in the quality control of these
kits.
In addition to the above
they have also requested to follow the following guidelines scrupulously in
selecting the Books etc. purchasing under School Annual Grants:
·
When book reading is going down
steeply, only the books that are reprinted many times standout as useful and
popular books. It can be a right
guideline to purchase the books that are reprinted more than three times.
·
General books in Physical & Social
Sciences and Literature should be preferred.
·
Books that inculcate a sense of
patriotism and love for is culture may be procure.
·
Books on great Nation builders and National
leaders that inspire younger generation for a better future India need to be
included i.e., Vivekananda, JC Bose, APJ Abdul Kalam etc.
·
Books that inculcate human values among
children need to be included.
·
In schools, youngsters are in formative
stage and the books, which impart knowledge about their life, will serve
definite purpose than the books that impart general knowledge about the outside
world. Books, which are useful in
day-to-day life, are to be preferred.
·
Most of the youngsters entertain
negative feelings like shyness, fear, anxiety, low opinion about
themselves. To help young students to
come out of such feelings and to build confidence, all sensible books on
personality development are to be preferred.
·
Books that are popular and sold in good
number in bookshops are to be preferred to the books that are mainly published
for supply to libraries and other institutions only.
·
Books which help both parents and
teachers alike, to adopt the right attitude while dealing with growing minds
that explain the behaviour of teenagers and the best possibilities to deal with
them are to be preferred.
·
Books, which help youngsters to
understand basic techniques of preparing for exams and to face them
successfully, are to be preferred.
·
Most of the rural students are haunted
with anxiety, tension, insecurity, inadequacy feelings and easily get into
depression. Books, which explain at
great length how to understand abnormal behaviour in the early stage and the
methods to correct it and suggest the ways to develop healthy attitude, should
be procured.
·
Since two decades quality fiction is
not being published in Andhra Pradesh.
Hence purchase of fiction books can be limited to 10% of total
purchases.
Hence, after examining the recommendations of the
Committee in detail, the Commissioner
and Director of School Education & Ex-Officio Project Director, RMSA is
pleased to approve their recommendations for utilizing the School Annual Grants
in-to-to. Therefore all the Head
Masters/ Principals & Chairmen of School Management Development Committees
of identified Secondary Schools & all the District Educational Officer
& Ex-Officio District Project Coordinators in the State are requested to
follow the above guidelines strictly while utilizing the School Annual Grants
released from this office every year from time to time. Any deviation in
diverting the funds from one component to another component or otherwise will
be viewed seriously.

has the approval of Commissioner and Director of School Education &
