(i) There are some Districts in which Fls are not appointed in adequate numbers
vis-a-vis the number of sampled schools. These Gaps needs to be filled up by today
itself i.e.5th November 2021 positively, to ensure that NAS is conducted in the
sampled schools.
(ii) ln districts where school observers are not available in required number, some
observers drawn from Departments other than School Education Department may be
deputed.
(iii) Where ever it is not possible to appoint separate observers, the Fls may have
to perform the duty of school observer which includes collection of bags from the
distribution Centre and taking back the test material back to the collection centre
after the survey has been conducted in the school.

(v) ln some cases, DNOS/DLCS are reporting that there is a possibility of non-
reporting/reluctance of Fl and observers on the designated date. Appropriate
administrative orders are required to be issued so that the Fls and ObserveB
nominated must be present (without fail) for NAS. Further, the directions may be
issued to the schools (including private schools) that non-reporting and non-sparing
of Fls /Observers will be viewed seriously. Since presence of Fls and Observers is
extremely critacal for NAS, no exemption can be given. Further, DNOS/DLCS may be
advised to keep an advance reserve list of Fls and Observers to deal with substitute
appointment on SOS basis. lt is also requested to facilitate smooth movement of
the functionaries associated with the conduct of NAS, including where ever
sp€cial permissions are required.
(vi) Suitable directions may also be issued to District Education Authorities and
schools so that the sampled schools remain functional/open for the selected grades
for smooth conduct of NAS, while observing the COVID safety protocols.
