Chhotaudepur School Runs from Makeshift Hut as Tribal Children Await Permanent Classrooms

Despite ongoing efforts to improve education infrastructure, several remote villages in Gujarat continue to lack basic school facilities. In Manukala Faliya of Ambadungar village in Kavant taluka, tribal children are studying in a makeshift hut because the government primary school has no permanent building.

Located in the hilly tribal belt of Chhotaudepur district, the village has a functional primary school but no dedicated school premises. To ensure children’s education continues uninterrupted, a local resident has offered his private house for classes.

Students from Classes 1 to 5 are currently studying in a temporary structure with tin-sheet roofing and mud walls. The school is operated by only one teacher, highlighting the shortage of both infrastructure and teaching staff in the remote tribal area.
