Bilaspur's 'Under-the-Tree School': Private Building Locked, Children Study Under Open Sky Despite Rs 12 Lakh Sanctioned
A disturbing image of the education system has emerged from Bilaspur district in Chhattisgarh, where children are being forced to study under the open sky due to a locked school building.
This situation persists despite an allocation of Rs 12 lakh for the school, leaving children deprived of basic facilities.
This incident raises serious questions about the right to education and the weaknesses in the educational infrastructure in rural areas.Photo: Prime Media Photography / PexelsAccording to reports, this case pertains to a rural area in Bilaspur where a school operating in a private building has been shut down.
The landlord has, for some reason, locked their premises, consequently rendering the school's children and teachers homeless.
Despite intense heat, rain, and other seasonal challenges, these children have no option but to study in open fields or under a tree.
