Bihar Schools Face Crumbling Roofs and Cracked Walls, Ground Report Reveals

India Today’s ground team visited several government and private schools across Bihar and observed that many buildings had roofs that were sagging or leaking, with visible cracks running along the walls. The report noted that these structural issues were not isolated to a single district but were seen in multiple locations, raising concerns about the safety of students and staff. While the report did not provide specific figures, it emphasized that the visible damage points to a broader problem of inadequate maintenance and aging infrastructure in the state’s educational institutions. Addressing such deficiencies is considered important for maintaining a safe learning environment.
