Delhi's Directorate of Education has identified 108 government school buildings as unsafe, initiating demolition and redevelopment plans following structural audits by the Public Works Department. While some buildings, like the Jasola Vihar school, have been vacated and slated for demolition, others such as the Sagarpur school remain operational despite visible structural concerns. The government is also implementing a 3D digital profiling system to assess and monitor school infrastructure for safety and modernization.
