Description of Existing Infrastructure available at the School:
Construction was 64 years old. Much maintenance work was not carried out in time to time because villagers are very poor. The roof of classrooms were damaged. Walls are also damaged badly. In rainy days it has become impossible to conduct the classes in this premises. Because all floor is leaking and classrooms get flooded. Because of damaged walls there is danger of conducting classes inside this premises. The urinals also got damaged. There are only four damaged rooms with no any other facility.
