Nearly 200 students of the Kendriya Vidyalaya School (KVS) on the outskirts of Mandya are being forced to study at verandahs and at the playground as the condition of the building has worsened.
The KVS, which was sanctioned to the district a few years back, has been functioning in a dilapidated building where a government health centre was functioning some years back.
The school lacks basic amenities such as computer lab, furniture, toilets, transport facilities, etc. The roofs of all the four classrooms have weakened and developed cracks. While the rain water frequently enter classrooms, water continuously drips from the roofs through cracks.
Fearing the collapse of the leaking roofs, the KVS teachers have started conducting classes at verandahs on Wednesday.
“It is very dangerous to conduct classes inside the rooms. We will conduct classes either at verandahs or at playgrounds,” a teacher, on the condition of anonymity, told The Hindu .
