Overview

• The court directed that identified dilapidated classrooms be locked and that students be barred from entering them.
• The order stems from a statewide survey of 63,018 government schools that flagged 86,934 classrooms as completely dilapidated and 5,667 schools as entirely unsafe.
• Judges asked the state to arrange alternatives so studies continue, and the matter is listed for September 4 for a technical verification update.
• Officials described the survey as preliminary and said engineer-led checks could revise the figures.
• Funding moves include a state allocation of Rs 175 crore for repairs and a reported Union commitment of about Rs 3,900 crore for education initiatives.
