It is really disheartening to note that they are deprived of several amenities. They  dont have separate  cabin which is necessary  for their privacy. They dont have crhe facility in the school for which they have to depend on relatives or neighbours to bring up   their children.  This affect their job satisfaction and in turn leads to role conflict.

They also dont have canteen facility for which they have to depend on their own lunch box, which have to be prepared by themselves.  They   are deprived of medical facilities in the school in time of emergency.
