Imphal, August 23 2012:
With the state government looking the other way even after its upgradation last year, Langjing Junior High School located at Langjing Achouba under Patsoi Assembly Constituency, still lacks necessary infrastructure and this has become one of the main reasons for poor percentage of students admitted in it of late.
When Hueiyen Lanpao went to inspect the condition of the school, the building was found in the most pathetic condition.
The toilet facilities were also found in such an awkward condition that one could easily conclude that sanitation is a completely failure in the school.
Moreover, the electric and water facilities in the school were almost nil.
In the absence of electricity, computers provided by the government are lying useless for the last many months.
Earlier, Langjing Junior High School used to be considered one of the best schools in the area and it produced a number of bright students.
At that time, the number of students getting enrolled in the school was also huge.
It was because of its excellent performance that the State government upgraded Langjing Junior High School into a High School last year and the local people applauded the move.
However, with government paying no attention to the infra-structural requirements of the school, the hope of the students as well as the local people has been shattered.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, Radhe, Headmistress of the School, lamented that a number of students from the school have got admitted in private schools as there is no adequate infrastructures.
She informed that the school authority had written a number of times to the authority concerned for taking care of the required infrastructures in the school.
But no positive response has been ever received.
The Headmistress also complained over lack of qualified teachers to teach student of class IX and X in the school.
