The Minister had yesterday stated that schools in scheduled areas would be merged
with bigger schools if they have less than 15 students.
Earlier the government had decided to merge schools where the student strength was
less than 20 students.

Mishra urged the Speaker to direct the Minister to clarify whether the relaxation of norms
would be implemented in KBK districts or not.
