Even small villages boast of doctors, engineers and administrative servants, unfortunately all of them settled out of state.

 It is all in the family. It is a principle being followed religiously by a number of private budget schools in Rajasthan. To run a school, one requires teachers, administrators, etc. and they need to be well paid keeping in mind the competition. And the easiest way to quickly set up a small (up to Class 5) private budget school is to hire your own family members as teachers and administrators.

  If the SMC members or Chairperson play irregularities or miscrepancy, the same case should be discussed in the next SMC Monthly meeting.Further the issue should get majority in members and the resolutions should be made accordingly.

Pls see the SMC Guideline of Orissa as an example
