Sukma. Arbitrariness in the name of schemes in the district is at its peak. Government officials are taking such decisions in order to spend the budget, which are not related to the interest of the students. Resources are being forcibly imposed even when they are not needed. The matter is related to the purchase of furniture in high schools of Sukma district. Where the officials have bought low quality furniture for crores at arbitrary rates. Not only this, a big scam has also been carried out by keeping the purchase rules in check. Quality furniture and wardrobes have been supplied at rates higher than the market price. Furniture has started responding within a few months of supply.
A new case related to financial irregularities has come to light in the education department of Sukma district. The State Project Office had released one crore 23 lakh rupees for the purchase of furniture and wardrobes in 17 high schools of Chhindgarh, Sukma and Konta blocks of Sukma district in the year 2020-21. In this, seven lakh 37 thousand was earmarked for each high school in the district. Furniture and wardrobe were purchased at the rate of 40 students. The furniture has definitely been procured from the e-standard portal at CSIDC rates. But its quality is very poor. Furniture and cupboards were purchased at double-thrice the original price.
Room wise amount released…
An order was issued on 20 February 2021 from the State Project Office, Raipur. In which an amount of one crore 23 lakh was approved for providing furniture to 17 high schools in Sukma district. Funds were released in two sections for Teaching Room, Science Laboratory Room, Computer Room, Art and Cultural Room, Library Room, Principal Room and Office Room. Under the government order, instructions were given to purchase the material before March 31. The officials hurriedly bought the furniture keeping the rules in mind and supplied it to the schools.
