Rajasthan. In schools, children are made responsible citizens, but now in educational institutions, students are misbehaved in the name of religion and sometimes in the name of caste.
The latest case has come to light from Mai Khurd village of Khandar subdivision area of Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan. Where a teacher in a government higher secondary school has been accused of insulting a Dalit girl student studying in class 10th with caste-related words inside the class in front of her classmates. On Monday, student parents reached the school in protest against the incident, where they demonstrated outside the school demanding action against the teacher accused of insulting the students on the basis of caste. During this time, students also came out of the class rooms and came out of the school in support of the demand for action against the teacher.
Memorandum submitted to SDM
The villagers have submitted a signed memorandum to the Khandar Sub-Divisional Officer demanding action. The villagers said in the memorandum that the children were insulted with caste based words and abusive language by the teacher working in Government Higher Secondary School, Mai Khurd. In such a situation, the said teacher should be suspended and legal action should be taken. To know the truth about this incident, The Mooknayak spoke to Khandar Sub Divisional Officer Banshilal Yogi on telephone. During this, SDM Khandar said that the memorandum addressed in my name has been given to the Block Chief Education Officer. He will investigate it. After this the villagers have not come to me.
Students said- teacher uses caste based words
On the instructions of District Education Officer Secondary Nathulal Khatik, Block Chief Education Officer Khandar Rajendra Prasad Meena, who reached the school to investigate the incident, interrogated the student as well as other classmates who accused the teacher of insulting her with caste-related words. During preliminary interrogation, the students have accused the accused teacher of misbehaving on the basis of caste. The students said that the word used to target and insult caste is repeatedly used by the accused teacher. This hurts their feelings. During this time, the CBEO also interrogated the staff regarding the behavior of the accused teacher. CBEO said that the accused teacher is on leave on Monday. In such a situation, the accused teacher could not be interrogated.
According to the villagers, the accused teacher has been humiliating the students of Scheduled Castes in the past. Last Saturday, while teaching in the class, a girl student was addressed with a caste related word. Regarding this, the student had gone home on Saturday after the school was closed and told about the behavior of her parents towards her. Due to Sunday being a holiday, parents and villagers could not reach the school. When the school opened on Monday, they reached the school to register their protest, but the accused teacher did not reach the school. Villagers say that the teacher had come to know that a protest was being organized against him. So he made an excuse and took leave from school.

A committee has been formed to investigate the entire episode. Principals of three different schools and a lecturer have been included in the committee.
