After a two-year wait, more than 600 students and teachers of Govandi’s Natwar Parekh Compound CBSE school finally entered their new building on Monday. For the first time, students attended classes without sharing benches and used amenities such as independent classrooms and an astronomy lab.

Since August 8, mid-day has reported how the newly constructed building remained unused due to the missing access road, forcing all students to attend the overcrowded Shivajinagar-1 school, where children from seven schools were cramped into a single complex.  Now, using a back road, the students are permitted to access their rightful school building.
