Petitioners are aggrieved by the list of new primary school, which are to be established in the district of Jamui as per instruction of the State Project Director dated 16.6.2008 and 30.7.2008 contained in Annexure-3 to this application on the ground that while selecting the schools the authorities have not considered the population of the area in which the schools are proposed to be established. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that new schools are to be established taking into account the population of the area but ignoring the population initial list, Annexure-3 and the subsequent list Annexure-D has been approved by the authorities of - 2 - the Zila Parishad. As the list, Annexure-3 and D have been published with approval of the Zila Parishad and the same does not appear to have considered the population of the area in which new schools are proposed to be established, I am of the view that the matter should engage the attention of the superior authorities of the Primary Education Department. The Secretary of the department is directed to look into the grievance of the petitioners, provided a written representation is filed by the petitioners before the Secretary, Primary Education Department, who shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with the relevant instructions in the matter of establishment of new primary schools, as early as possible, in any case within two months from the date of receipt of the representation of the petitioners along with a copy of this order by the Secretary of the department. 4.
