                                               Challenges for the School

           Students  are  first  generations  learners  with  both  parents  working  at  lower  level  of  jobs.  Children  are
           forced to support their parents in their jobs to earn their livelihood. Absenteeism was a major problem as
           girls  support  their  parents  in  earning  their  livelihood.  Poor  health  and  hygiene  was  another  cause  of
           concern.

           I joined this school as a Principal, in September 2010. School was in a disintegrated state and I struggled
           with many problems right from infrastructure problems to poor discipline among teachers and students as
           well as poor academic results. Absenteeism, Poor health and hygiene of students were other issues faced



              Challenges Faced

                    To  improve  the  school  infrastructure  to  provide  hygienic  and  motivating  environment  for
                      effective and efficient teaching learning in the school

                    To  create  leaders  of  tomorrow  –  aiming  at  the  holistic  development  of  students  and
                      transformation of teachers.

                    To achieve success in the scholastic and co scholastic areas to give recognition to the school at
                      State and National Level



           Status of infrastructure

           The building of the school was in a dilapidated condition. There were wide cracks in the pillars supporting
           the building. Black boards in all the classrooms had patches and were broken. Content written with chalk
           was not visible. Although there was supply of water from Delhi Jal Board but the number of taps were not
           sufficient for students. There was no water purifier in the school.  Only one toilet block (always stinking)
           was there in the school premises for 1300 students.

           Classrooms had cobwebs. Students used to sit on daris as the number of desks was not able to support the
           number  of  students  studying  in  the  school.  Plaster  of  the  roofs  of  the  rooms  was  falling.  Science  lab,
           Home Science lab and Vocational room (photos of this lab attached) had patches of seepage on the roof as
           well  as  the  walls.  School  premises  were  full  of  malba.  Library  books  were  outdated  and  were  less  in
           number.
