The Right to Education Act, 2009 guarantees free and compulsory education for all children from 6-14 years. There is a list of basic infrastructure facilities to be provided for each and every school. However, students of Malapada Upper Primary School are not getting the facilities they are entitled to.
Call to Action: Change that today. Call the number below:

The school lacks clean drinking water, no toilets, playground or boundary wall. The head teacher has complained to the authorities many times but nothing has been done about the situation. That is why you support is needed to rectify the situation.
