APPEAL The importance of Education in the development of the individual in particular and society/economy in general, is an undeniable fact. With the change in the social set-up and emergence of Information Technology in the modern age, the need to review the system of Education has become necessary. Also, adequate environment for proper development of the students on one hand, and on the other to enable teachers to impart knowledge using modern methods/techniques in educational institution, is a requirement which has to be ensured by conducting studies on the existing institutions. This will provide an insight on the adequacy/shortfalls. As an endeavour towards this end, the Directorate of Economics & Statistics, Manipur as an authorized agency for statistical activities in the State of Manipur, is conducting the present survey on Private Schools as the first phase to build a database on the various aspects of Education in the Private sector in Manipur. The data collected will not be used, disclosed or retain to any third/other parties except for the purpose of generation of data base at the macro level. The Primary Investigators of this Directorate will be visiting all the Private Schools in Manipur for collection of the information through the schedule ‘Collection of information on Private Educational Institutions in Manipur, 2015’. Your valuable cooperation in providing the information as per the schedule will go a long way to enable the Directorate in generating data depicting the status of the Private Educational Institutions in Manipur.

Pit latrine with slab: This is a dry pit latrine that uses a hole in the ground to collect the excreta and a squatting slab or platform that is firmly supported on all sides, easy to clean and raised above the surrounding ground level to prevent surface water from entering the pit. The platform has a squatting hole, or is fitted with a seat. Unlike ventilated pit latrine, in this type of latrine vent pipe is not used. 4.4.6.

Tube well/borehole: Tube well or borehole is a deep hole that has been driven, bored or drilled, with the purpose of reaching groundwater supplies. Boreholes/tube wells are constructed with casing, or pipes, which prevent the small diameter hole from caving in and protect the water source from infiltration by run-off water. Water is delivered from a tube well or borehole through a pump, which may be powered by human, animal wind, electric, diesel or solar means. Boreholes/tube wells are usually protected by a platform around it, which leads spilled water away from the borehole and prevents infiltration of run-off water at the well head. 4.5.3. Protected well/unprotected well: A well is considered as protected if it has generally the following protective measures to lower the risk of contamination: 1) A headwall around the well with a properly fitting cover 2) A concrete drainage platform around the well with a drainage channel 3) A hand pump of bucket with windlass. If instead of hand pump or bucket with windlass, electric pump is used to pump water from such wells, where the conditions (1) and (2) exist, it will be considered as protected well. A well is classified as unprotected dug well if either (1) the well is not protected from runoff water, or (ii) the well is not protected from bird droppings and animals. 4.5.4.
