Just 15 km from Karauli district headquarters, Khubbnagar Government Senior Secondary School is in a state of disrepair. Established in 1959, it currently serves over 340 students, many of whom study under leaking roofs, falling plaster, and crumbling classrooms.
One part of the building is already sealed off due to safety hazards. Even a new building constructed under the 14th Finance Commission is now showing signs of dampness and peeling plaster. The toilets are broken, and the nearby open pond poses a risk to children.
Despite repeated repair and expansion proposals, including a ₹20 lakh estimate, no approvals have been granted. The school boundary wall is broken, letting in stray animals and unauthorized individuals. Teachers and villagers have done makeshift repairs, but basic infrastructure is still lacking.
The road to the school is lined with garbage and encroachments, making daily access difficult. Without urgent action from the administration, the situation could soon turn deadly. Ignoring this is not just negligence—it’s a crime against the future.
