The student of govt. Schools has a lot of talent we should motivate them to do more and they need proper facilities but
In this picture we can see the deficiency of facilities in the school,that's why students are in school dress and without dress.— Anshu kumar sharma (@Anshuku17215967) October 7, 2019
