The existing buildings are not repaired and maintained. No new building has been
constructed in last 10/12 years.
The boundary wall is in dilapidated condition. The security of the children is a big question mark. It was said that the condition of the school is not fit for human habitation. Hence development of the students was out of question. Not a single rupee from C.S.R. funds of Tata Steel has been spent for
development of the school.
It was learnt reliably that there is a motive of some authorities to shift the school to
some other place and handover the land to an industrial house. It is also learnt that the Tatas
have the planning of taking over the school land construction an Airstrip for their use.
As the children from SCST communities were beaten up, the district administration
has sealed the school from media and activists. It is strongly felt that the Government is
protecting the accused persons and at the same time do not allow to show the horrible
condition prevailing inside the school campus to the outer world.
