Posted On: 11 MAR 2026 5:30PM by PIB Delhi
Union Minister of State for Tribal Affairs Shri. Durgadas Uikey today informed Rajya Sabha that Student enrolment, attendance, academic performance, transition to higher classes, and availability of basic infrastructure such as hostels, classrooms, sanitation, drinking water, electricity and digital facilities are some of the key indicators which are normally monitored to analyze the performance of EMRSs across the country including the State of Andhra Pradesh. The outcomes of these indicators are reviewed through periodic inspections, MIS and reports from State EMRS Societies followed by corrective measures, as required, to ensure improved educational and developmental outcomes for EMRS students.
All new EMRSs having an area of 15 acres, with student capacity of 480 from Classes VI to XII are well equipped with modern design. These include separate Boys’ and Girls’ Hostels, integrated dining and kitchen facilities, quarters for teaching and non-teaching staff, classrooms with modern teaching aids, science and computer laboratories, libraries with diverse learning resources, playgrounds. With regard to staffing, 31 Teaching posts and 21 non-teaching posts are sanctioned per EMRS with classes up to XIIth having full strength of 480 students.
NESTS has undertaken its first drive for direct recruitment of 10,391 posts through ESSE-2023. Staff selected through this process have been posted in EMRSs, including 570 staff in the State of Andhra Pradesh. To ensure that academic activities are not hampered, guest teachers are also engaged by State Societies, wherever vacancies arise.
