Telangana government school faces enrolment crisis
A government high school in Astnagurthy, Telangana, hasn't had a single student enroll for three years straight.
Once bustling with over 1,000 students during the 1990s since its start in 1976, the campus now sits quiet—even though three teachers still show up every day.
TL;DR
Once a sought-after school, now a ghost campus
Back in the '90s, getting into this school was a big deal. But as private and state-run schools popped up nearby, families started looking elsewhere.
Alumni have tried to help by donating things like computers and a TV, but locals say frequent teacher transfers and not enough staff have made parents lose trust—so classrooms remain empty.
