We have very few teachers in school.
After the completion of primary education, children go to other
villages and districts to get higher education as there are no schools
offering higher education.
Children are not computer literate. With frequent load shedding
it becomes difficult to impart education to these children.
Mid day meals are provided to the children.
The quality of education is very poor.
