Due to the unexpected stoppage of power supply by the energy authority,
students at the
government Girls
junior college in
nampally are forced to attend class in literal darkness.
students, parents, and faculty members are all outraged about this.
The problem started last
monday when the
college was left in the dark when the electrical department cut off the power. The assistant
engineer for the
nampally division claimed that the non-payment of invoices of Rs 36,000 was what prompted the severe measure. Pitambar Durga, the principal, stated that "this sudden interruption in the power supply has thrown the institution into chaos, with
students forced to hold classes in the dark." She alleged that the
school had only got Rs 20,000 as opposed to their sought budget of Rs 60,000 for this quarter, placing the responsibility squarely at the feet of the
education department.
According to Durga, who has been requesting this for a while, "the
college is struggling to maintain basic
services as a result of the dire consequences of this budget shortfall." Durga continued, pointing out that the
college building is 70 years old and is improperly ventilated. Our
biometric systems are inoperative in the absence of
electricity, making it challenging for
teachers to record students' attendance. During the
dengue panic,
students can't sit comfortably, they can't use the lavatory and there is a rising dread of insects.
Some of my friends have missed class since it makes no sense to arrive at
school in the dark, a student bemoaned. A teacher who acknowledged that it has been harder to teach simply from textbooks while utilizing a cell
phone as light echoed her thoughts. This week's wet days had made their condition worse, making it difficult for both pupils and
teachers to handle.

reddy J. claimed to know nothing about this serious condition when questioned. "We typically don't turn off the
electricity at
government institutions or colleges since we recognise that sometimes they are unable to regulate their financial situation. We'll look into the matter, and if it turns out to be accurate, we'll make sure there is an instant supply of
electricity, he told
