The children of the school are facing problems. The mid day meal kitchen is also lying in very worst condition and the old building of the school is totally damaged. The school authorities are also not paying much attention towards the basic problems of the school. Some elements are also grabbing the land of the school day by day in connivance of the insiders. The cattle and cow dung, are usually seen in the school premises. Some people also dump material in the school premises. Some people park their vehicles in the school compound.

The 16 Kanal and 10 Marla land of this school is being grabbed and the concerned staff and ZEO/ ZEPO are silent over the issue.
