Zilla Parishad Primary School, Damalvadi

Current state of the 1956 building structure

25 Students (Std 1-4)

1,100 Village Population

1956 Year Established

45:55 Female:Male Ratio

The Context

ZP Primary School, Damalvadi, is the only school facility for the village. With a population sex ratio of ~450 females per 550 males, providing safe, dignified education infrastructure is critical for encouraging female literacy.

The school was established in 1956 with 2 classrooms. While repairs were done via public contribution in 1995 and two rooms were sanctioned in 2016, the infrastructure has now failed.

⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY ALERT The two original classrooms (1956) are in extremely dangerous condition with deep wall cracks and weak roofs. They could collapse at any time, posing a direct threat to the lives of 25 children and 2 teachers.

This is not an upgrade request—it is an emergency intervention to prevent a tragic accident or school closure.
