Mana Badi Nadu Nedu – Further Guidelines to do painting work of schools –Issued.

Nadu-Nedu program is taken up by the state Government to

provide a facelift to all the Government schools in the state.

2. Interior and Exterior painting with wall art is one of the key

components of Nadu-Nedu Program. This component takes considerable

time in accomplishment of the task. Unless we closely coordinate , we can

not complete this component before the targeted time set by the

Government.

3. Painting work is entrusted to M/s Berger and Asian paints and both

the companies have deployed teams and have started painting work.

4. It is observed that some Head Masters, Parents committee Members

and Engineers are not allowing the painting teams to start the work as

certain small components of works such as floor repairs, Toilet

construction and dadoing of tiles etc., are in progress.

5. As the magnitude of the painting work is huge, and the date set for

completion of Nadu-Nedu works is fast approaching and painting being

the defining and visible component of Nadu-Nedu programme, all the

Head Masters / PC Members / Mandal Engineers / Field Engineers /

Sachivalayam Engineers are instructed to follow the directions given

below:

a. No painting team will be refused by the Head Masters or field

Engineers or Dy EEs. Painting teams should be allowed to start

painting when minimum of 80 % of the extent of the building area

is ready for painting. We will allow 70 % of the payment (as per

invoice) for this painting work also. The company shall raise invoice

for the work done quantities only.

b. Balance work will be painted when the painting teams come for a

second round for doing the mopping up in the mandal.

c. In case of schools with large compound walls having more than 2

acres, Head Masters and Engineers should ensure that only the

visible part (front side) is painted.
