A school in Paraja Pondi faces Challenges with Lack of Water Source

Lack of coordination between the local authorities and public adds miseries to schools across the district . For some reasons best known to the then teacher , when the village was shifted to a nearby place from its original place for having Koloab reservoir , this school at Paraja Pondi in Koraput block was constructed on the top of a mountain . As a result , till date children have to climb up in the morning to attend the school facing great challenge of water . While they carry water in bottles , the cook brings water from a tubewell at the bottom of the village . There was no water and hence the toilet doors were still shut since its construction (dont know how the authorities get satisfied from such closed facilities !). Surprisingly till date there was no attempt by the authorities to solve the water problem for the school . However the ambiance and the teacher-student relationship that was in progress in the school by the two young teachers was praise worthy . I felt very encouraged yesterday to feel that everything was not lost .
