The LG also updated the educators on steps taken to resolve the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) issue to create additional classrooms. “Was glad to share with the audience that steps have already been initiated to address the FAR issue for additional classrooms,” he added.
During the session, teachers raised concerns about growing security threats, including bomb threats and cybercrimes, while appreciating the police’s swift response to these incidents. “While concerns about recent bomb threats and cybercrimes were raised by the teachers, at the same time they also appreciated the role of the police in handling these situations seamlessly and expeditiously. The idea of early-stage R&D for students as suggested by the teachers is intriguing and worth exploring,” Saxena said.
