Govt. upper primary school in the marginalized region of Karlagaon, district Kalahandi, Odisha is the source of education and learning for around 197 students. It teaches class 1 to 8. But education is crippled by a severe lack of teachers. 

There are only 2 teachers in the school and the children are helpless when it comes to subjects like Geography, Science and English for which there are no teachers.

IndiaUnheard Community Corespondent Satya Mahar who produced this video also mobilized his community to protest against this skewered teacher-student ratio. The school was locked down in January 2013 as a sign of protest. This forced te Block Development Officer to visit. Three teachers were appointed by the end of January 2013. 

Stay Tuned for the Impact Video.
