A dilapidated roof at Mauhartola government school in Shahdol's Jaitpur area began leaking during rain, prompting authorities to suspend classes for safety. Local resident Prabhlaad Singh has offered his verandah free of charge to temporarily host lessons.
The Mauhartola government school in the Jaitpur region of Shahdol district, Madhya Pradesh, is facing a structural problem as its aging roof started leaking when heavy rain fell. The water seepage has made the interior of the classrooms unsafe for students and staff.
In response, school authorities have halted all classes until the roof can be repaired, citing the need to protect the children from potential accidents or health hazards caused by damp conditions.
Seeing the disruption, a local villager, Prabhlaad Singh, stepped forward and offered the use of his verandah at no cost. He has opened the space for a month, allowing teachers to conduct makeshift lessons while the school arranges for repairs.
The temporary arrangement underscores the community’s willingness to support education despite infrastructural setbacks, and officials are expected to assess the damage and plan restoration work soon.
