Officials of the Meghalaya Board of Secondary Education ( MBoSE) led by its president will visit the violence-hit Mendipathar area of East Garo Hills district on Thursday to meet representatives of various schools for assessing the situation.
"They also plan to meet school inspectors on the next day to chalk out plans to ensure that students hit by the clashes do not lose an academic year," an official in the education department said.
Deputy commissioner Pravin Bakshi said the board would first make provisions for duplicate admit cards for the students, and may consider setting up a special examination centre for the displaced students.
Additional district magistrate of Meghalaya would be visiting the neighbouring Goalpara district of Assam on Wednesday where several families had taken shelter in the wake of the violence.
"He will prepare a list of the students taking shelter in the relief camps there," the DC said, adding that a similar survey of students was also being carried out in Meghalaya.
At least three schools were been burnt down by miscreants during the clashes between January 1 and 9 in Meghalaya.
On the other hand, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has also asked for a status report of the children in the relief camps.
Officials said the commission would provide aide and assistance from the Centre for displaced children.
In East Garo Hills district, there are eight relief camps housing 1,774 people at present. About 8,000 people who fled to Assam are yet to return and were still lodged in relief camps.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross has also done a survey of the relief camps and is expected to extend aide to the displaced. Aide has also poured in from the Ram Krishna Mission.
The DC said a government compensation of Rs 10,000 to each family and CGI sheets would be distributed within a couple of days.
At least 12 people were killed and over 50,000 displaced in the ethnic clashes in both the neighbouring districts of Assam and Meghalaya.
