Temple or school? One structure in Madhya Pradesh runs as both

Temple or school?

One structure in Madhya Pradesh doubles as a temple and a school, though government sanctioned money for the school. Queue for students and devotees is common. Children are often distracted, says a school staff.

In district Lakhapur, land donated for school is being used to store hay. Children here walk 5 kilometers to attend school in the neighbouring village.

In another village, a school shifts on a daily basis, sometimes runs from an anganwadi center and sometimes from a makeshift shanty and if it isn't raining children study under the sun.

At another place, teachers are forced to run a mobile school which shuts on a rainy days.

Watch how Madhya Pradesh government's tall claims on education are falling flat.
