School Kids Work As Labourers At Satna Government School

A shocking video has surfaced from Madhya Pradesh's Satna, where school kids were seen working as labourers at a government school campus. The incident took place in Tyondhara No. 1 school in the Rampur Baghelan block of Satna district.

The video showed the kids digging mud with shovels and carrying it in a tub. Some students were also seen filling gravel into hand carts with shovels and then carrying it to another spot. A student was also seen digging with an axe.

A voice-over in the video can be heard saying that the school children are being made to do the work, while teachers are sitting inside the school. The clip, said to be around two days old, has sparked outrage on the internet.

The matter came to the notice of education department officials after the video went viral. District Education Officer Saloni Sharma has taken note of the matter and directed the Block Education Officer (BEO) to conduct an inquiry.

The inquiry will look into who asked the students to remove the gravel and which teachers were present at the school when the incident took place. Officials will also check why students were made to handle construction material and whether their safety or studies were affected.

Netizens have slammed the incident, questioning why students were made to carry out such work instead of focusing on their studies. The education department said further details will be clear after the inquiry.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of students in government schools. It has also sparked a debate about the role of teachers and school administrators in ensuring that students are not exploited or made to do manual labour.

The Madhya Pradesh government has been working to improve the education system in the state, but incidents like this highlight the need for greater vigilance and oversight. The state government needs to take strict action against those responsible for making students work as labourers.

The incident is a reminder that child rights and education are important issues that need to be addressed. The government and civil society need to work together to ensure that students are protected and given the opportunity to focus on their studies.

In conclusion, the incident of school kids working as labourers at a government school in Satna is a shocking and disturbing one.
