Of the schools without blackboards, 21,699 also did not have teachers, the study revealed. [...]

  1. Oh that was sad. 90,000 schools in India don't have blackboards? How did the teacher and the children manage that? No toilets and water facilities? And specially playground----so sad to hear that....

    I hope that your government will do something about that----hopefully!
