Condition of the School

The condition of the hostel is very inadequate. The roof, floor, doors & windows of the hostel building are in dilapidated condition which need urgent repairing or dismantling and reconstruction. The hostel building has become worn out. The condition of the hostel rooms are also inadequate. This building was constructed a long time ago, so the roof requires dismantling & reconstruction. There is ground water seepage from the floor & water leaking from the roof in almost all of the rooms. Causing this building to remain unusable.

Due to the condition of the hostel, the classroom serves multiple purposes for the students. The same rooms are use as a classroom & hostel room for the students. Students sleep on the floor or have to sleep on or underneath the benches. It has become tremendously difficult during the monsoon season, to sleep in these rooms. There is ground water seepage from the floor & water leaking from the roof in almost all of the rooms. The condition of the school classes are such that, the walls of the room may collapse at any time.
