• Department must ensure reservations, food, safety, and accommodation.

The Kerala State Human Rights Commission on Thursday directed the General Education Department to ensure adequate travel and other facilities for students participating in national school meets.

Commission Chairperson Justice Alexander Thomas said the department was responsible for ensuring proper arrangements for members of the state team travelling to national school meets.

He directed the Director of General Education to pay greater attention to train reservations, food, safety and accommodation and to take steps to prevent recurrence of such complaints in future.

The direction came while considering a complaint that students representing the state at a national school meet had to travel for days sitting on the floor of a train as they had not been provided reserved seats.

The Secretary of the Kerala Sports Council informed the Commission that it was the responsibility of the General Education Department to make travel arrangements for the team.

The Commission passed the order on a petition filed by public activist Adv V Devadas.
