🧠 Problem Title: Lack of Proper Toilet Maintenance at School
📝 Problem Description

Many schools in India face a serious issue of poorly maintained toilets, especially in government and rural institutions. Although basic sanitation infrastructure may exist, the lack of regular cleaning, insufficient water supply, broken fixtures, and absence of proper waste disposal systems make these facilities unusable or unhygienic for students., This problem significantly affects students’ health, dignity, and overall learning experience. Unclean toilets can lead to infections and force students to avoid using them, causing discomfort and medical issues. The situation is particularly challenging for girls, especially during menstruation, often resulting in absenteeism and, in some cases, dropout from school., The root causes include lack of accountability, inadequate monitoring, limited funding, and low awareness about hygiene practices. In many cases, there is no proper system to ensure regular maintenance or to report issues effectively., As a result, the school environment becomes less safe and inclusive, directly impacting students’ attendance, concentration, and academic performance. Addressing this issue is essential to ensure a healthy, dignified, and supportive learning environment for all students.
