The initiative to open the school in 1996 was envisaged by the people in the community, seeing the danger of the nearby national road, a few kilometres away from the area. As there was no school in the area prior to 1996, the children had to cross the national road, which is very dangerous, to attend school in other neighbouring villages. The community noted with concern the number of road accidents on the nearby national road, which have killed many children from the community.
