Students Forced to Study Amidst Waterlogged Classrooms in Patna; Authorities Remain Unresponsive

Patna, August 2024 — In a distressing situation, students at the Primary School in the Phulwari Sharif block of Patna are being forced to continue their studies in waterlogged classrooms. The heavy rains over the past three days have resulted in severe water accumulation inside the school premises, leading to a foul smell and extremely unhygienic conditions.

Despite these adverse conditions, the students, many of whom are seated with their shoes and sandals soaked, are determined to continue their education. The image of young children diligently working on their lessons in such an environment highlights both their dedication to learning and the dire state of their school facilities.

The school’s headmaster,, has reportedly informed the concerned authorities about the waterlogging issue, but no significant action has been taken so far. This lack of response from the administration has left both the students and the staff to fend for themselves in these unsanitary conditions. The stagnant water in the classrooms poses a significant health risk to the students, making it unsafe for them to attend school. Furthermore, the pervasive smell and the potential for disease create an environment that is far from conducive to learning.

The situation at Primary School is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by many schools in the region, where inadequate infrastructure and delayed administrative responses are common. The ongoing neglect by the authorities not only jeopardizes the health and safety of the students but also hinders their right to a quality education in a safe environment.

Parents and local residents have expressed their concerns and frustration over the situation. They are demanding immediate action from the authorities to address the waterlogging issue and to ensure that the school provides a safe and healthy environment for their children. Many have pointed out that while the students’ commitment to their studies is commendable, it should not come at the cost of their health and well-being.

This incident raises broader questions about the state of public education infrastructure in the region. If schools are not equipped to handle the challenges posed by the monsoon season, students are the ones who suffer the most. It is imperative that the local administration takes urgent steps to address not just the immediate problem of waterlogging at Primary School, but also to implement long-term solutions to prevent such situations in the future.

In the meantime, the resilience of these young students continues to be a powerful testament to their desire for education, even in the face of overwhelming challenges. However, their perseverance should not be a substitute for the responsibility of the authorities to provide them with the safe and supportive learning environment they deserve.
