Presently the school has its own infrastructure facilities, which include school’s administration department, classrooms and separate hostels for both boys and girls. Considering the rising demand for admissions and the needs of the tribal children in subsequent years the school management has decided to undertake construction of new buildings including additional sanitation facilities inside the campus.

It also provides round-the-clock security and vigil for the safety of the inmates. For sick children there is provision for special diet and doctors round the clock. The dormitories for boys and girls are housed in separate buildings. The hostel is divided into number of houses. The house master who lives with the students is accountable for the overall well being of the wards in his house.
