SHRC Slams Panvel School for Inhuman Conditions, Orders Report
A government school in Panvel, India, for tribal students is in very bad shape.
The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) found that the school building is falling apart and not safe.
The students, who are supposed to be living there, don't have beds and use the same rooms for sleeping, eating, and studying.
There aren't enough toilets, especially for the girls, who sometimes have to go outside to use the restroom.
The kitchen and eating areas are also not good, and the students have to serve themselves and eat in the same rooms where they sleep and study.
The SHRC is now making the government look into the situation and fix it.
