There are no separate funds earmarked for maintaining toilets in government schools, especially those for girls; only 50% schools have RO water
While the Supreme Court has directed the Centre and all the state governments to ensure the availability of drinking water and toilets in government schools, especially in the schools for girls, the Punjab government has no separate funds earmarked for the cleaning and maintenance of toilets.
A visit to various government schools revealed that while all the schools have drinking water available, only 50 per cent schools in the district have facilities for RO water.
