The problem is affecting the normal work in the schools. Some schools do not have more than two or three rooms.

A number of classes function in open and when the weather conditions turn hostile, the classes are cancelled.

The students lose precious time. More room must be built in such government school buildings for having adequate space for the children and the staff.

The overall infrastructure in schools must be improved. Be it construction of new school buildings or construction of more rooms in the existing schools, steps should be taken in this direction.

Having toilet and drinking water facility is also important. And also important is having a library and a laboratory.
