The village has two school structures, a 90′ x 30′ built by the government and a 60′ x 30′ built by the villagers 12 years ago. There are 140 students in grades KG-9. If there was a new 60′ x 30′ building, there would be many more students as 20 nearby villages would send their children to the middle and high school grades. Accordingly, we built a new 60′ x 30′ school here. Also, the existing teachers’ cottage was in bad shape so we built a new one.
