“Issues” means one thing here: no girls’ toilet, or one that does not work. That is all UDISE+ 2024-25 records. A school shown with none may still have plenty. The counts are government schools only; the share is against every school in the region, government and private together, because UDISE+ 2024-25 publishes no government-only total, so it understates how common this is in government schools.
What else the government recorded
The government’s own UDISE+ 2024-25 record lists more than a missing toilet at these 75 schools. Every school counted below is one of those 75, not the rest of Darbhanga.
