Rajasthan Govt Schools Lack Basic Infrastructure, TOI Ground Report Finds

A Times of India ground investigation visited government schools across six districts in Rajasthan, revealing severe deficiencies in basic facilities. Reporters found schools lacking roofs, functional toilets, and adequate teaching staff in multiple locations. The survey spanned diverse regions, including the coaching hub of Kota, remote desert villages, and Jhalawar's Piplodi, which has previously been in the news for tragedies. The findings indicate a systemic collapse of basic public schooling in several pockets of the state. The report came in the wake of the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) controversy, prompting closer scrutiny of ground realities in Rajasthan's education system.
