59 'prime ministers' receive Nirmal Vidyalaya awards
The award consists of Rs 5000 in cash and a certificate, officials said.
The SSA had set up a five-member 'cabinet' of students in each of the 4000 odd schools in the district a year ago to look after sanitation, drinking water facility, mid-day meal and cleanliness of the institute, officials said.
The 'cabinet' comprised the prime minister, education minister, health minister, food minister and sports minister.
The SSA inspected the schools a year later and selected 59 schools for the 'Nirmal Vidyalaya' awards.
District Magistrate Omkar Singh Meena handed over the award to the 'prime ministers' of those 59 schools at a programme here today.
