Baghel claimed that he learned about the dilapidated condition of the school buildings during his state-wide visit under Bhent Mulakat. Locals and public representatives of schools complained of leaking ceilings, and inadequate electricity supply among a few of the problems in the school premises that were unaddressed because of lack of provisions.
