Overview
- A portion of plaster from a classroom ceiling fell at Government Primary School Narada in Udaipur, injuring five children, three with head injuries, while 32 pupils were in the room on Tuesday.
- The three children with head injuries were treated at Bhindar Government Hospital and discharged the same day, and two other students suffered minor wounds.
- Education officials ordered the two-room school locked as a precaution and moved lessons to a temporary site near Mataji ka Chabutra after Bhindar CBEO Rajendra Kumar Chaubisa visited to review the site.
- Villagers and the headmaster say the building, built in 2001 and last repaired in 2020, had long been deteriorating and that repeated complaints to the Education Department went unaddressed.
- The incident renews scrutiny of ageing government school buildings in Rajasthan following the deadly July 2025 Jhalawar roof collapse and could prompt wider inspections or repair funding decisions for unsafe schools.
