The Supreme Court on Wednesday Oct 03,2012 directed the centre and
state governments to provide basic infrastructure, including drinking
water and toilets, in all schools within six months.
A
bench headed by Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan fixed the time limit and
asked the governments to take steps to provide the basic facilities in
schools across the country. The bench said that all its previous
directions pertaining to providing infrastructure should be implemented
within the time frame fixed by it.
On October 18 last
year, the Supreme Court had directed all states and union territories
to build toilets, particularly for girls, in all government schools.
The
court passed the order on a PIL seeking its direction to Centre and
state governments to provide basic facilities of drinking water and
toilets in schools.
