If you happen to pass by the government college at Aymangala village on the busy Pune- Bangalore NH 4, do pay it a visit for what you see may shock you.
Teachers here have to teach students under a tamarind tree on the campus, in the verandah and on the staircase for lack of space.
Of the two rooms available, one is a science laboratory and the other is left vacant. Also, though the college has 106 girl students, it has no proper toilets. A makeshift facility using coconut leaves serves as a toilet. There are two other rooms — one serves as an office, library, sports room and principal’s chamber all-inone and the other houses 10 computers.
Despite these conditions students have fared well. The pass percentage last year was of 60. 21.
Principal K Jambunath told Express, “Our representations from the gram panchayat to the state government have gone in vain. ” A representation given to DyCM K S Eshwarappa also yielded no result, he added.
When Express contacted Primary and Secondary Education Minister Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, he said, “I am not aware of the situation, but will definitely help with the infrastructure at the earliest.
