Over 40% toilets not functional in 41 Delhi government schools

NEW DELHI: In addition to working out the student-toilet ratio in its schools, the Directorate of Education had also asked schools for "details regarding non-functional toilets." An internal memorandum lists 41 schools where more than 40% of the toilets "have been found to be non-functional."

On top of the list is the Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya at Radhey Shyam Park where not even a single toilet is functioning.

The memorandum asks the heads of these 41 schools to "explain why the toilets of their schools are still not functional despite repeated instructions from the DoE by appearing in person in the office of DDE Land & Estate (deputy director, education, land and estate." They'd been summoned on November 3. The memo also reminds the principals that they are "duty-bound to keep all the toilets in functional condition."

The maximum number of schools with non-functioning toilets are in east district (seven) followed by south-east (six); there are 13 school districts in total and schools in 11 feature in the list. It also features Seemapuri-SKV (Vishwamitra) where three kids had used acid left in the toilet instead of water in April this year. 17 of its 33 girls' toilets aren't functioning.

Not one of the 32 girls' toilets at Radhey Shyam Park-SBV is functioning. It could be argued that it's a boys' school but the situation is exactly the same for the 32 boys' toilets. Similarly, at the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in the same location, only two of 18 girls' toilets and one of the same number of boys' are in working condition.

While the situation isn't this bad in all the schools on the list, there are many where the number of non-functioning toilets is over half the total. Thirty-seven of 52 boys' toilets at Dilshad Garden (Block C -SBV) aren't working; neither are 18 of the 23 at No.2 Government Boys Secondary School at Jama Masjid, and 22 of 28 at Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar-SKV aren't usable.

Several single-sex schools have found themselves in the list, perhaps unfairly, for not having enough functioning toilets for the opposite sex - Government Girls' Senior Secondary School at Tulsi Nagar for instance. However, there are many schools under Delhi government that are single-gender on paper (and signboards) but are actually co-educational in practice.
