Bihar is grappling with severe floods in over 12 districts, including Danapur, due to the overflowing monsoon rivers. Major rivers like the Ganga, Gandak, Kosi, and Bagmati are flowing above the danger mark in several locations. This dire situation has disrupted daily life, submerging fields, roads, hospitals, and many school premises. Main routes are waterlogged, crippling transportation and directly impacting the education system.

The situation is particularly critical in Patna's Danapur Diara region, where over 7 panchayats, including Kasimchak, Purani Panapur, and Ganghara, have lost connectivity. Approximately 49 schools in these areas are either inundated or have their access roads submerged under 3 to 4 feet of water, leading to their closure. Over 45 schools in Samastipur and 26 schools in Naugachhia, Bhagalpur, have also been temporarily shut due to waterlogging.

The government and District Magistrates (DMs) have issued orders to close schools in affected areas, considering the flood situation. However, the Education Department or the state government has not issued a central order for a statewide school closure. Decisions to close schools are being made by the respective District Magistrates based on local conditions. Schools in districts or cities not directly threatened by waterlogging or floods remain open.

Continuous school closures have raised concerns among 10th and 12th-grade students about completing their syllabi. The administration has assured that they are considering conducting extra classes once water levels recede. NDRF teams are also deployed in the affected regions.
