Objectives & Structure

The Objective Of EMRS is to provide quality middle and high-level education to Scheduled Tribe (ST) students in remote areas, not only to enable them to avail of reservation in high and professional educational courses and as jobs in government and public and private sectors but also to have access to the best opportunities in education at par with the non ST population.

c) Support the annual running expenses in a manner that offers reasonable remuneration to the staff and upkeep of the facilities.
d) Support the construction of infrastructure that provides education, physical, environmental and cultural needs of student life.

b) Sufficient land would be given by the State Government for the school, playgrounds, hostels, residential quarters, etc., free of cost.
c) The number of seats for boys and girls will be equal.
d) In these schools, education will be entirely free.
e) Every class can have maximum 60 students preferably in 2 sections of 30 students each and the total sanctioned strength of the school will be 480 students.
f) At the Higher Secondary level (class XI & XII), there will be three sections per class for the three streams in Science, Commerce & Humanities. The maximum sanctioned strength of the each section may be 30 students. In case of shortfall in a section, ST students from other schools may be admitted as per procedure mentioned at above para (a).
