CAG Finds Deficiencies in Odisha Special Schools for Disabled

The government's auditors found that special schools for children with disabilities in Odisha aren't up to par.

These schools, run by NGOs, often lack important things like classrooms, clean bathrooms, and safe places to sleep.

There's a shortage of necessary equipment such as hearing aids and learning materials.

Also, many schools don't have enough teachers and staff.

The government department in charge isn't checking these schools properly, leading to ongoing problems with buildings, space, and basic necessities.
