A government school in the Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh is facing a unique challenge, with only three students attending classes. The school, located in Nathukonha, has a headmaster and an assistant teacher to educate these students. The education department allocates a substantial amount of money annually to manage the school.
This primary school conducts classes for grades one through five, yet currently, only three students are enrolled, all in first grade. The two teachers receive an annual salary funded by the education department, estimated at 10 to 12 lakh rupees. The school also incurs additional expenses for maintenance, stationery, the mid-day meal program, and utilities such as electricity and water.
