Chhattisgarh Teachers Cross River Daily to Reach Remote School During Monsoon
In Chhattisgarh's Balrampur district, teachers Sandhya Haldar and Karmila Toppo undertake a challenging daily journey to reach their school in Dhaurpur hamlet during the monsoon. They walk three kilometers over rocky terrain and cross a swollen river, sometimes with a nine-month-old child in tow. When water levels rise too high, they must turn back. Their dedication has been praised by local officials, highlighting the difficulties of providing education in remote, flood-prone areas.
