the infrastructure of school is not good(most of the kids are underprivilegd hence many parents dont pay the monthly fee at time,many of them dont even pay the monthly tuition fee which is 500rs=5.50$ for a month) .if you have any other ideas to improve the infrastructure of school,we would love to hear those ideas.
