In all most all habitations primary schools are opened and there
is an easy access of schooling facilities to all the children within their
reach. Because of low
birth rate during last decade as we discussed in the earlier , there is a
considerable decrease of strength in many of the schools . Hence it is planned
to close few such schools.
