Published on March 16,2010:CHENNAI: Giving special impetus to education and healthcare in the Corporation’s Budget for 2010-11, Mayor M Subramanian on Monday announced a slew of new measures including the renaming of Corporation schools as Chennai Schools, erection of clock towers at important traffic squares across the city and setting up a communicable diseases hospital (CDH) in South Chennai.
Addressing the councillors at a special session at Ripon Building, Mayor Subramanian said, “With the view to remove the stigma from the parent’s mind, (the) civic body has planned to remove the ‘Corporation’ tag from its schools.
“All schools of the civic body will hereafter be called Chennai Primary, Middle, High and Higher Secondary schools and this renaming would help to remove psychological barriers from the parent’s mind,” the Mayor said.
The civic body runs 116 primary schools, 99 middle, 37 high and 30 higher secondary schools and more than a lakh students study in them.
The Budget has provision for establishing a special school for the deaf and dumb in North Chennai and one school in each of the 10 civic body zones will be converted into a ‘School of Excellence’, at par with the Kendriya Vidyalayas.
To improve healthcare, the Corporation would construct a communicable diseases hospital (CDH) in South Chennai. A de-addiction centre with 20 beds would be established in the present CDH in North Chennai.
