Jagargunda goes to school -Dipankar Ghose

-The Indian Express

Twelve years after the battle between Maoists and the Salwa Judum cleaved through Jagargunda, turning its schools into empty shells, the administration has begun a slow rebuilding effort. The Indian Express travels to the village deep inside Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district and finds the first signs of a resurgence — the children are back in school and so is the “raunak”

The books they carry in their hands are worn-out, the binding a little loose, the pages dog-eared. Every day, for the past two months, they walk through the narrow, dusty lanes of their village, through wild, untamed vegetation. They walk past structures that once held a hospital, a school, a government building, but whose walls now, mossy and damp, hold up the open sky. They walk till they reach buildings that have walls, a roof, tables and chairs — the children of Jagargunda are back in school.
