Poraspur school hut
Babultali school hut
Nawdapara school hut
Concerns •The hut is made out of mud, bamboo and Jute with a tin ceiling. There is an utter lack of ventilation at the Poraspur hut. •Children do not have pencils, copies, slates etc. Nothing to play with. •They have very poorly equipped first aid box. •Babultali teachers get Rs. 1000/mo although Asha-SF project pays for Rs. 1500/mo. •Poraspur school runs 7-11 am. Hence this is not oprating as a full time creche. •There is a temporary pre-primary school at Nawdapara, supposedly run by MAGJS themselves.
