Patna,(BiharTimes): Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday passed on the buck to the Centre so far implementation of the Common School System is concerned. He criticized the Human Resources Development ministry for ignoring the concept of Common School System.

Inaugurating the Simultala-based residential school through video conferencing he said that those sitting at the Centre are hardly bothered about the implementation of idea behind this concept.

Nitish said that the state government wanted to develop a model school in each district but had to abandon the idea after the Common School System was mooted.

The Simultala Simultala Avasiya Vidyalaya (SAV) or Simultala Residential School is modeled on the pattern of the Neterhat School, which now went over to Jharkhand. The chief minister hoped that Simultala school would carve out its own name.

He said that the popularity of the school could be measured from the fact that, 30,000 students applied for the entrance examinations, of which 118 were selected.

The school has been conceptualized as a centre of excellence for transforming children of Bihar. It would be a co-educational school, which would conduct entrance exams across the state for enrolling 60 boys and 60 girls for class 6th every year. the vision is to nurture students in a high valued education system.

According to him the work model has been designed considering the old Gurukul system where students had been given opportunity to stay in Ashram along with the family of Guru.

It needs to be recalled that Nitish Kumar, after coming to power, constituted a commission on Common School System. Though it submitted its report a couple of years back no action had been taken in this regard. Its chairman, Muchkund Dubey, former foreign secretary of India, even criticized the state government for the delay in its implmemntation.
