Sehore (Madhya Pradesh): A primary school that was founded over six years ago in a village here does not have the basic infrastructure with children jostling for space inside a thatched hut to study.
Six years after the school in Navalgaon Pipliya village of the district was founded, the children continue to study in abysmal conditions.
While few students get to sit on a green rug, others sit uncomfortably on the floor.
"The authorities have been apprised of the situation. A letter was written to them about the situation," Ramgopal Gharve, Block Education Officer said.
"The higher authorities sitting on the proposal for the commencement of the building construction, children have no choice but to skip school during excessive heat and incessant rains," he said.
The officer asserted that the construction will commence as soon as he gets a nod from the higher authorities.
