“It is one of the oldest Schools of this District; this is an age old demand of the public of this area but nobody is listening,” villagers alleged.
According to the parents as per the new education policy, students are free to choose any of the subjects in the school. Therefore they urged to introduce at least two science subjects Biology and Chemistry as per the availability of the subjects in the school.
