Administrative clearance must to start new school: minister
    Kolkata, Nov 14 (PTI) Administrative clearance,
besides that from the education department, would soon be made
mandatory to start a new school in West Bengal, Education
minister Partha Chatterjee said Wednesday.
    Only after the administrative clearance, the
authorities of the prospective school will be able to seek the
permission from education department, he said.
    He, however, did not clarify who will provide the
administrative clearance.
    "Necessary legislation will be framed in this regard
very soon," Chatterjee told reporters on the sidelines of a
merit scholarship programme here.
    On a reported incident of change of name of the place
of a school from Islampur to Ishwarpur, he said "In our daily
correspondence with that school, we have not found any proof
that the institution has done it."
    "But if we find that the report is true, we will take
action," he asserted.
    Chatterjee said two new state-run universities will be
set up in North 24 Parganas and Nadia districts. PTI SUS
