Safety &
Security
Area is spread
across 275 acres, surrounded on all sides by tea gardens.
The School is situated 6 km West of National Highway 52 (Tezpur-Balipara
– Bomdila axis) and is only 26 km from Tezpur, the District
Headquarters of Sonitpur. There is hardly any population in
the close vicinity of the School.
An Army unit (Counter Insurgency Training School) is about
two km away from the School on its way from National Highway
52. Proximity of the CITS provides inherent security to the
School. There are three tea gardens around the School
campus. All these gardens have armed guards. The School has
very good liaison with these establishments in all respect
including security requirement at the time of need.
The entire area of the campus is fenced along the periphery
of 5.5 km with barbed wire fencing of 10 feet high. The top
segment of the fence is angled outwards to prevent ingress.
The perimeter is patrolled 24×7 by armed guards from the
ATPSF (Assam Tea Plantation Security Force).
The security apparatus of the School consists of two
platoons of Government force with sophisticated weapons,
private security personnel including lady guards and
chowkidars (employed as additional night watchmen).
Campus Security
The campus is
patrolled by armed and unarmed guards round the clock. Every
individual including staff has to go through a Standard
Security Check Procedure while entering or exiting through
the Main Gate.
House Security During Night Hours
Girls Houses
While armed
guards patrol the outer periphery of the Girls Houses, a
night ayya and a lady guard remain inside each House during
night hours not only to attend to the requirement of pupils
but also to ensure safety, security and discipline of the
House.
Boys Houses
While for safety,
security and discipline, a security guard and watchmen do
their duty inside the House, sufficient armed guards remain
vigilant outside the Boys Houses throughout the day and
night.
Movement of
Pupils
No pupil moves
out of the campus without an adult escort and armed guard.
