• Installed and functioning, or
• Installed but non-functional, or
• Yet to be installed

In all such cases, the supplied RO System shall be considered as one unit for assessment purposes.

 

Therefore, proposals for additional RO Systems shall be submittedstrictly based on actual necessity and student strength, duly considering the existing availability of RO units in the school.

Illustration:

Requirement based on strength	2
RO System already supplied under earlier phases	1 (-)
Net Requirement	1

Dual Desks:

The requirement of Dual Desks shall be assessed purely based on the present student enrolment/strength in the school.

 

While arriving at the requirement, the existing usable furniture available in the school shall invariably be taken into account to avoid duplication or excess proposals.

Only the actual additional requirement shall be proposed in the STMS portal.
