Floating School On Manipur's Loktak Lake Struggles To Stay Afloat
Imphal: Eight years after the northeast region's (NER) first floating elementary school was set up for children of the fishing community of Manipur's Loktak Lake, the school is now battling to survive. With the community finding no other way to keep the school running, they have sought government help. The Loktak Floating Elementary School was set up in 2017 at Langolsabi Leikai in Champu Khangpok, a floating village of nearly 330 residents. It was built atop thick floating masses of aquatic vegetation known as phumdis - a hallmark of Loktak Lake. These floating biomass islands, about 4 to 5 feet thick, support both huts and the school itself. "The one-room school, measuring 24 by 15 feet, lacks even basic infrastructure such as desks and tables. We had a lot of hope when we started, but this year alone, seven students dropped out," Rajen Oinam, secretary of the All Loktak Lake Areas Fishermen Union Manipur, which runs the school, told PTI. Only 23 students are currently enrolled, up to Class 2. Classes are held from 8 am to noon, twice a week. "Children not only from Champu Khangpok but also from distant floating huts come here to learn how to read and write. However, ever since ethnic violence erupted in the state, we've been preoccupied with managing relief camps for internally displaced persons, which has taken our focus away from the school," Mr Oinam said. Sharing a unique feature of the huts built on floating phumdis, Mr Oinam said, "Often, the huts drift away overnight to another location, in some cases more than 3 km away, when there are thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds. To prevent this, huts are stabilised by anchoring bamboo poles into the lakebed. The school itself is tied with ropes to keep it from floating away." Reaching the school is a challenge. "It takes about one-and-a-half hours by traditional wooden canoe from Ningthoukhong Project Gate in Bishnupur district," he said. "While most huts use bamboo for flooring, the school uses wooden boards, covered with carpets. Apart from solar-powered electricity, the village has no modern amenities." Though villagers have been trying hard, the school still lacks official recognition. "We have submitted applications to the authorities in Bishnupur district, but there has been no response. With government recognition, we could get support for infrastructure and teacher salaries. For now, the Bishnupur-based People Resources Development Association keeps the school running by supplying books, stationery, and minimal salaries for the teachers," Mr Oinam said. N Kumar, a fisherman and resident of the floating village, explained why the school matters. "There are schools on land in Bishnupur, but they're over an hour away. Parents have to wait for classes to finish to bring their children back. This is time-consuming and expensive. Since both men and women in our community fish to sustain their families, the floating school is more convenient," Mr Kumar said. Despite being surrounded by water, residents face a scarcity of safe drinking water. "The lake water is often contaminated due to untreated urban waste and solid plastics. We collect cleaner water from deeper parts of the lake, then boil or filter it before drinking," Mr Kumar added. Most huts on the phumdis are compact and multifunctional. "Huts made of reeds are generally about 20 by 15 feet and 10 feet high. Cooking, eating, and sleeping all happen in that one room," he said. Ramananda Wangkheirakpam, a functionary with Ngamee Lup, a federation of fishermen unions, said, "The floating school is meant for small children who need constant supervision. Older children are sent to boarding schools in Imphal and elsewhere."
