57 Jharkhand Balika Aawasiya Vidyalayas (JBAVs) will soon get teachers and other non-teaching staff as the recruitment process is set to commence. These 57 schools were established in 2015 on the lines of the central scheme of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas.

The recruitment plan includes hiring 57 principals and 627 teachers for these schools. It is important to note here that all the teachers will be postgraduate women trained in teaching.

A total of 25 posts have been sanctioned in every school, which includes one principal, 10 assistant teachers, one physical education teacher, one laboratory assistant, one computer assistant, one clerk cum accountant, one gardener, two cooks, two guards, two maids, one sweeper and two attendants.

While the principal, assistant teachers, physical education teacher and laboratory assistant will be appointed on a permanent tenure and at the state level, recruitment to the remaining posts will be made at the district level as they will be daily wage earners.

School education and literacy department secretary Aradhana Patnaik said, "The JBAVs have been started in the 57 blocks which do not have KGBVs. A total of 203 KGBVs were constructed since 2005-07 in the then existing 203 blocks. Since then, 57 new blocks have been made in the state which lacked residential schools for girls so we came up with the JBAVs here."

These schools put together will have a total capacity of 350 seats for students from Class VI to VII. The JBAVs mimic the KGBVs in all aspects.

"The only difference is that KGBVs are sponsored by both the Centre and the state in a 65:35 ratio while the JBAVs are completely sponsored by the state," Patnaik said.

The infrastructure for these 57 schools is still under construction but enrolment had already started in the year 2015-16.

"A total of 2,850 girls were enrolled in these schools in Class VI in the previous academic year. These girls are presently studying in the KGBVs in nearby blocks and will be shifted to their own blocks once the buildings for JBAVs are constructed and teachers are recruited," Patnaik said.
