The figures represent 1.53 percent and 0.64 percent of the state's 44,243 government and aided schools. All schools have girls' toilets, and 643 operate functional solar systems.
The government has allocated 4 crore rupees this fiscal year to connect the remaining schools to electricity. Construction of boys' toilets in the 283 affected schools has begun.
