We request district administration to hand over the school as soon as possible.""As classes of all sections take place together, it becomes problematic for us. If the building is complete, we will be able to have proper classes," another student said.Parvinder Gupta, a teacher at the school, said that it is the responsibility of the school administration to provide the students with necessary facilities."I also passed out from here. Children from far-flung areas come here to study. So, it is also our responsibility to provide them modern amenities," he said.Neelam Kumari, another teacher, said the new building will significantly build on the existing facilities for students."Currently, the students have to study in the open and there are many things to distract them.
