Manama:The Indian School is set to undergo significant infrastructural enhancements following the approval of the proposed budget to build a new toilet block exclusively for girls and to relocate the existing facilities from the proposed location of the new toilet block. The new toilet block will be strategically located between the RP block and Netaji block, aiming to serve approximately 80 toilets across its two levels.The decision to construct the new block necessitates the relocation of existing facilities currently housed in porta cabins at the proposed site, including rooms for Arabic and art and craft activities. These facilities will be transitioned to a new location between the old admin block and Nehru Block. ISB Hon.Chairman Adv. Binu Mannil Varughese emphasized that these infrastructural developments are made possible through community philanthropy, underscoring the collaborative effort behind the school’s infrastructure improvements.In addition to addressing the need for new toilet facilities, the EGM also approved the second agenda of financial approval for waterproofing work at Riffa campus. This repair work, supervised by an authorized consultant with a guaranteed 10-year warranty, precedes the installation of a ballast-type solar panel system designed to harness renewable energy without compromising the integrity of the roof surface.During the Extraordinary General Body Meeting (EGM) convened on Friday, June 28, 2024, at the Jashanmal Auditorium, the first agenda ‘ approval for the construction of new toilet blocks in Isa Town campus and relocation of the existing facilities from the proposed location of new toilet block’ and the second agenda ‘financial approval for waterproofing work at Riffa campus’ were unanimously approved by the attending parents and school officials. Having got the budget approval by the EGM, both proposals will go for an open tender through the school website. ISB Honorary Chairman Adv.Binu Mannil Varughese, Honorary Secretary V. Rajapandian, Hon.Assistant Secretary Ranjini Mohan, Honorary Executive Committee(EC) members Mithun Mohan (Projects & Maintenance),Mohammed Nayaz Ullah(Transport) and Principal VR Palaniswamy attended the meeting.Adv.
