FollowStudents at a government Kannada school in Kangrali Khurd, Belgaum Taluk, are facing a distressing lack of basic facilities, highlighting the ongoing negligence by authorities in providing essential infrastructure in government schools. Despite promises of development by successive governments, the condition of these schools remains dire, impacting the education and well-being of young learners.
The school, accommodating 354 students from classes 1 to 8 and located in a Marathi-dominated area, is grappling with a critical shortage of toilets. With only one toilet for both genders, students endure long queues daily, leading to discomfort and hindrance in their studies. This lack of facilities has compelled some students to resort to urinating outdoors, a distressing situation further aggravated by bullying among the students.
