The foundations of the school laid in the 70s now looks more or less like a ruin. Even the numbers of school staff is worrying. Only two teachers cater to all children in the school. And the school’s security guard is not only guarding the school but he’s also their teacher.
Children are forced to sit on broken desks and chairs.
Consequently, in winters, these children often fall sick. Many have even left the school due to its poor maintenance.
