Shiksha Sadan Secondary School

[edit]

The Shiksha Sadan Secondary School is a public school located in Harakpur.[7] The school was established in Tallo Harakpur in 1962. In 2014 it had 400 students.[6] That year a project funded by the Eifion Trust of the United Kingdom began rebuilding the six-classroom building. The work was completed in five months, and replaced a decrepit structure with a concrete/brick building with old corrugated galvanised iron sheets used for the roof.[6] As of 2014 the school had 24 higher secondary students. It was under the Panchayat Higher Secondary School Pathari.[8]
