However, the association said due to non-release of further fund, construction was stagnant and could not be accomplished as per the terms (i.e. by March, 2013).
After the lapse of 10 months (Aug 2013) from the 1st instalment, DDGBA stated that the department releases second instalment some 15 % to 20 % from the unit cost.
And for the construction of common/girls toilets, drinking water, the association said the fund was released from the third and fourth instalments.
But for GPS, the signatories stated that some school did not get any more instalments after the first. “Thus, the total Fund released till date, sum around upto 60 % only,” they said.

Therefore, DDGBA has appealed to the school education authority – SSA Nagaland to release the remaining balance amount to the educational institute of the Dimapur district in particular and the state in general as early as possible for smooth functioning of the schools.
