3 YRS OF RTE ACT, 2009 - JHARKHAND GOVERNMENT SCHOOL FOR NAME ONLY

On 20/03/2013, I along with Ganesh Reddy and Nisha Tomar visited one of the primary schools in a naxal affected village 25 km from Ranchi City of Jharkhand State (presently under Central Rule). The school has an enrollment of 25 students but only 10 students of classes 1 to 5 were present in a classroom. It is a single teacher school. Two toilets were locked. There was no drinking water facility at all. Top of all, there was a language problem. The teacher and the students do not understand each other’s language. The students know only local language and do not even understand Hindi language. The teacher does not know the local language. Literally, there was no teaching taking place. What to talk of Desks for the students, even tat-patties were not there. There was not electricity in the school. There was no boundary wall.Instead of running school in such bad conditions, the Government must provide transport facility to the students of this and other similar schools, so to enable such students to go to secondary or sr secondary school,may be at distance of 6-8 kms., where they may get conducive environment for good education.
