All other infrastructural facilities like the boundary wall, road, electricity connection, poles and water connection were made available by Khajan Das, a local legislator. The parents of children studying in this school are members of the governing body of the school and they manage the day-to-day functioning of the school.” The primary school in the village is being run by the RLEK, the NGO working in the field of education for rural and marginalised communities for the past two decades.
