Watch: School students in MP hold umbrellas inside classroom as roof leaks, video goes viral

A video from Madhya Pradesh's Seoni district showing the dismal state of a government-run school has surfaced online. In the now-viral clip, some school students are seen holding umbrellas inside a classroom to shelter themselves from rainwater coming in through the leaking roof.

According to reports, the video was taken at a government school in Ghansor, which is a small town in Seoni. It is a tribal-dominated area that borders Maharashtra.

The video was shared by a popular tribal rights advocacy account named Tribal Army on Twitter. The Tribal Army tagged Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to the post and tweeted a note in Hindi.

The tweet roughly translates to, "This video is from a primary school in tribal-majority Khairikala village of Seoni district. Students here are forced to study with umbrellas inside their classroom to avoid the rainwater dripping from the roof."

Towards the end of the post, the Tribal Army tagged the Chief Minister and said that he has sent his child to study abroad while children in the state have been facing such challenges.

In the video, a group of students can be seen sitting on the floor as the classroom is completely bare with no chair or desk. As the teacher proceeds with his subject, students are seen sitting together under big umbrellas to protect themselves from rainwater dripping through the damaged roof.

ये वीडियो मध्यप्रदेश के सिवनी जिले के आदिवासी बहुल खैरीकला गाँव के प्राथमिक स्कूल का है। छात्र छत से टपक रहे बरसात के पानी से बचने के लिए स्कूल के अंदर छाता लगा कर पढ़ाई करने पर मजबूर है। @ChouhanShivraj अपने बच्चे को पढ़ने के लिए विदेश भेजते है। गरीब आदिवासी बच्चों के ये हालत।
