Section 55 in Tamil Nadu Educational Inspection Code
55. Participation in promotion of Government Schemes for public welfare.
- Since many Government schemes for public welfare carried out through the agencies of several Government departments require the co-operation of the teachers and pupils of schools for their furtherance. Inspecting Officers are expected to take an interest in and be conversant with such schemes especially in respect of their relationship to schools. They should therefore co-operate with the officers of other departments and render all possible help which can be given through the assistance and participation of schools. In the same way, if they should consider and obtain the co-operation of the officers of other departments in the promotion of the interests of the schools in such matters, as the improvement of the health of the school children, the encouragement of agriculture and gardening in schools, the promotion of arts and crafts among pupils, the organising of excursions to places and. institutions of educational interest and so on. Similarly, Inspecting Officers are also expected to take interest and co-operate within the bounds of their normal duties in the welfare endeavours of such publicly recognised non-official organisations like the Scout Associations, the Indian Red Cross Society, local organisation connected with the United Nations Organisations, Youth Welfare Organisation, Boys and Girls Clubs, Athletic Associations, Camping, Fellowship, etc. The Community Projects as well as National Extension Schemes should be in close contact with Primary and Secondary Education.
