Project Update Started supporting the salaries of teachers from Aug 2005 for 8 teachers. Right now the school is divided in to 7 classes and there is the HM. Though class strengths are high the classes cannot be subdivided for want of rooms. Two teachers had left as they were in a position to find suitable jobs after the Tsunami. The school has hired one teacher and one more teacher will be hired ASAP, now that teacher salaries are assured. Requested for the next update.
