Shamli district faces critical educational infrastructure collapse with 60% government schools lacking basic facilities like toilets, drinking water, and proper classrooms. Teacher absenteeism runs at 40%, while dropout rates soar to 35% in rural areas. Mid-day meal schemes remain irregular, affecting student attendance. Digital divide widens as promised computer labs remain non-functional across 200+ schools. Immediate infrastructure audit and repair, mandatory biometric attendance for teachers, community oversight committees, solar-powered digital learning centers, streamlined mid-day meal monitoring system, and partnership with NGOs for educational support programs.
