A building that once served as a security camp in Bastar district has been repurposed to accommodate 150 students. The change reflects a shift from military use to educational purposes.
The structure, located in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, was previously utilized by security forces as a camp. Reports indicate that the facility has been vacated by the security personnel and converted for civilian use.
Currently, the building provides shelter and learning space to approximately 150 students. The arrangement appears to serve as a hostel or educational centre, though the exact institution managing the students has not been specified in the lead.
This transformation highlights a broader trend of repurposing former security infrastructure for community development, particularly in the field of education, in the Bastar area.
