Kurnool (AP): A Primary School in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district, poses a distinct challenge for its student and teachers, as the only way to get to the classrooms is by jumping over its compound wall.
The Poultry Primary school in Karivena village of Atmakur Mandal, which was built in the year 2004, had two approach roads - one each on the northern and eastern sides.
However, the donor of the land on which the school stands, sold the adjacent plot on the eastern side of the school. The new owner of the plot then shut out the eight-foot-road, in the process blocking one entrance to the school.
To make matters worse, farmers later blocked out the northern entrance, which led to the school being isolated with no entry point.
The 80-odd students who attend the school, along with their teachers, now have no other option but to scale the compound wall to get to the classrooms every day.

For young students, the daily climb can prove to be extremely dangerous, as many kids often suffer bruises in the process.
Talking about her daily ordeal, Shailaja, a student at the school, said that other than scaling the wall themselves, they also have to help the younger kids.
"We have to help the younger kids also to climb the wall. We have to face this trouble every day," she said.
The young student also appealed to the district collector to look into the matter.
"Collector sir, please help us. We want to come to school every day to study," she said.
Meanwhile, Mandal Education Officer Janakiram said that he would bring the issue to the notice of higher authorities and try to chalk out a solution.
