• Usually as ad when any project or Institution or
  school is Planned/ built, the first requirement
  is to prepare a layout plan/ site plan, showing
  the existing structure, tress, or any component
  then orientate the school and allied
  infrastructure. This is necessary to locate the
  school building others components at
  appropriate and suitable locations, leaving
  sufficient spaces for parking, playground,
  assembly site, future expansion etc.
• Such exercise is essential to orientate the
  building in such a way that it has proper
  ventilation, sun, aesthetic, cross ventilation,
  avoiding glare on the black board etc and to
  avoid haphazard growth in future.

Why school mapping is required now-

• Most of the school constructed so far have not
  gone through the essential technical exercise
  which is mandatory and is carried out by all
  engineering department when ever any project is
  under taken.
• This exercise is required for-
• For existing schools under SSA
• For all new schools.
• School mapping in developed countries has become
  an important document and professional firms are
  given the task to prepare school mapping wherever
  it has not been prepared at the initial stage

• In developed countries the special tools,
  equipment are used for school mapping. The tools
  and equipment used are as follow.
• Project toolkit
• Animation Graphics
• Audio Video
• Computer Aided Design
• Database software
• - Geospatial Technologies
• ESRI ArcGIS
• Intergraph GeoMedia
• GPS

Some of the such school maps prepared with above
mention tool kits and technologies are shown.

• In India too under SSA, attempts have been made
  to prepare model school campus by some SSA
  States. one such map prepared by Rajasthan SSA is
  shown.

• In India wherever schools in urban/ rural areas
  are constructed by engineering department like
  PWD on an ear marked site, necessary
  mapping/layout plan has been prepared before the
  construction is taken up.
• However the school constructed in rural areas by
  community, PRI, in unplanned colonies slums,
  generally the layout plan/school mapping is
  missing

13

• Since inception of SSA more than 2.1 lakh
  primary, upper primary schools and 8.12 lakhs
  classrooms have been constructed or in progress.
  In addition to above, school infrastructure has
  also been added through various schemes like
  PMGY, MLA, MP funds, State government funds,
  funds from Finance Commission and through
  community including other sources. More than
  75,000 upper primary school 20,000 primary
  schools and about 5,00000 classrooms are yet to
  be added from 2008-09 onward.

• Hence need for school mapping for new
  construction is dire necessity.
• Delhi State has done school mapping using Global
  Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning
  System (GPS). In such cases school has been
  marked on geographical map and State is in
  position to know where the schools are located
  and where they need more schools. Such mapping
  help the planner to work out position of new
  school as and when required. Example of GPS is

• Tamilnadu- Has also done school mapping as has
  been done by Delhi for working out the
  requirement for un served habitations.
• Actually we are looking for school mapping of
  each and individual school which have already
  been constructed or which are likely to be
  constructed

17
School mapping for new school

• Following inputs are require -
• Location (name of the village ,street ,area
  etc.).
• Boundary of the campus with North direction and
  showing all roads pathway leading to school site.
• All existing land mark including tress, any tube
  well, any boundary wall or any other structure
  existing at site.
• Orientate the new building to be constructed.

• e. Including position of trees, kitchen shed,
  child friendly elements, BALA element, anganwadi,
  toilet, drinking water facilities, gardening
  areas, assembly areas, parking, position of gate
  and any other components to be constructed. The
  map should show future expansion as well.
• f. Any important land mark near the proposed
  school

19
Contd.

• g. Data regarding tentative strength of school
  children, class wise, population of the locality,
  rate of growth of population, out of school
  children between 6 to 14 years teachers Strength,
  available feeder school. Other details will be -
• Name of the school.
• Name of the locality.
• Name of the block.
• Name of the districts

20

• In addition whether school will be having
  electricity.
• it is in tribal, non tribal, urban or rural
  areas.

21
School mapping of existing schools.

• Prepare layout plan/ site plan showing the
  following-
• Exact boundary of the campus with North direction
  showing all roads, paths and any important land
  mark near by.
• Show all existing components such as school
  building, ramp if any school gate, path leading
  to school building, kitchen shed, Anganwadi,
  toilet, drinking water, soakage pit, garden
  areas, child friendly element, including trees.

22
Contd.

• c. Architectural plan of the existing building
  showing the type of the building and condition
  of each classroom (foundation, walling, roofing,
  flooring, door windows etc.)
• d. Comparison with SSA norms of the above plan
  and any new infrastructure required.
• e. Class wise enrolment disintegrated to boys and
  girls.
• f. Number of classes.
• g. Number of out of school children.
• h. Population growth and growth of children 6-14
  years

23
Contd.

• i. Whether school is having electricity.
• j. Is it in tribal, non tribal, rural or urban
  area.
• k. Any classroom which is unsafe.
• l. Deficiency in infrastructure in accordance
  with present strength and in accordance SSA
  norms.
• m. Four color photographs of front, rear, right
  and left view of the existing buildings.
• n. Any other requirement / information.

24
Software

• Software of school mapping will be developed and
  data will be stored duly compiled for each school
  at block, district and State level. In addition
  to above school map will be prepared for each
  school on A4 size paper, which will be displayed
  duly framed in the head master room for future
  reference and planning.
• Once this data is prepared this will serve as
  asset register and shall deter the local people
  to encroach upon school land.

25
Contd.

• State can think and prepared school mapping with
  any such means, tools, equipment which can serve
  the required purpose.
• Gujrat State has prepared school mapping through
  contract and also prepared terms of reference
  (TOR) for the contract. The same can be referred
  with reference to State context.
