Similarly, Zone-3 would include schools located in the city or town of Educational Block Headquarters except those which are co-located with district Headquarters, Zone-4 would include schools located on the State Highways or National Highways between 10 k.m. and 15 k.m. outside the Municipal area of the district Headquarters, Zone -5 would include schools located within the radius of 5 k.m. of Block Headquarters. Central point for this Zone would be Main Bus Stand of the city.
