The school in Andhra Pradesh's Godavari district has built a different building for upper-caste students with better facilities and the students from lower caste are denied to enter the building. The building is divided into caste divisions reported from a government primary school in Brahmapuri village.

The parents stated that Mandal Education Department officials are providing better facilities to upper-caste students, this newly constructed building is only for upper-caste students while others are forced to sit in the old building. 

The villagers also alleged that the students with upper-caste get more facilities than lower-caste students. A total of 26 students are reportedly facing discrimination. Till now primary school in Brahmapuri had a total of 52 students and the school recently received 9 lakh funds for renovation, from the government school revamp scheme, and so the school built a new building from this fund for upper-caste students.
