This building in Bastar used to house a security camp. Now, it is home to 150 students

This building in Bastar, formerly a security camp combating Maoist insurgents, now accommodates 150 students from Maoism-affected regions. Established in 2011, the campus initially featured a residential school designed in a way that Maoists would not attempt to camp there. The facility has now transformed into two hostels for Scheduled Tribe boys, offering accommodation and educational opportunities to students from remote areas.

Originally, the pre-matric hostel, which serves students from Classes 6 to 10, was operating beyond its sanctioned capacity of 100 students, prompting authorities to plan for additional hostels. The post-matric hostel, designed for students in Classes 11 and 12, currently houses 39 students out of its sanctioned capacity of 50. The authorities are planning to construct another hostel in Kurushnar, near Abujhmad, to cater to more students.

The Bhatpal campus is strategically located near villages such as Kohkameta, Madamnaar, Orrcha, Nelwad, Chote Donger, Korenda, Chimdi, Remavand, and Benoor, providing a safe and accessible environment for students from these areas to pursue higher education.
