Uttar Pradesh: School Turns Into A Dance Bar On The Night Of Rakshabandhan

A government primary school in Mirzapur village in Eastern Uttar Pradesh became a dance party venue on 7 August, the night of Rakshabandhan when relatives of the local village head apparently decided to celebrate a birthday party in the school premises, according to Hindustan Times.

The school at Tetraihiya Kala Khurd in Jamalpur was closed on Monday on account of the festival of Rakhshabandhan. When the teachers came to the school the next day, they found the campus littered and dirty.

The locals told them that it was the result of a party organised by the village head, Ramkesh Yadav’s family.

The video shows women dancing on a makeshift stage and men showering them with money, Basic Shiksha Adhikari Praveen Kumar Tiwari was informed by assistant teacher Ashok Kumar. He directed a block education officer (BEO) to carry out a probe in the matter, saying that it is a serious and highly objectionable move.

Tiwari said that the report with a request for action against the village head would be submitted to the district magistrate and the chief development officer.

Ramkesh Yadav, the village head, accepted that a party was organised but denied attending claiming that he had gone to a relative’s place in a nearby village.

On being questioned, the school principal stated that the village head had asked for the keys to the school after the school hours, but he did not tell him about the party. It was only the next day when the teachers came and saw the dirt around that they became aware of the part.

The Logical Indian community staunchly condemns the entire episode. It is pathetic to see how the village head and his family have shown a complete lack of responsibility and have made use of the precincts of an educational institution for staging something that is against the ethos of the place. We urge the concerned authorities to look into the matter and take proper steps to ensure punishment for those who breached the law.

This Diwali Let Us Rebuild Schools To Secure A Better Future For The Country

Propelled by

HIL Limited

We all have memories attached to our schools. Yes, obviously we do, otherwise, why would we be all excited for our school’s 10-year reunion? Because reunions are the time when we get to relive those juvenile memories and cherish the good old days.

The times we shared the same bench with our best friend and played tic tac toe on the desk. The times we took toilet breaks in the middle of a class only to secretly loiter around the corridors. The brilliant lunches we shared with our friends on the school playground during recess. Reminiscing over these memories warms our hearts.

Did you know that at least 35 million children between the age group of 6-14 do not attend school in India? There have been several reports that girls drop out of school because of a lack of basic facilities such as toilets. These children are not only missing out on basic education, but they are also missing out on those wonderful memories.

In a bid to make early education accessible to all, HIL Limited has taken a wonderful initiative. HIL Limited believe in the fact that when we do things together, better things happen, standing by their philosophy of ‘Together We Build’. In the film, you can see a small child Kamli. The naive child makes a colorful paper lantern for Diwali and gifts it to her school, which is in shambles. She is eager to learn and her adamant heart still gives her the hope that the colourful lantern might make her broken school a little brighter. After her Diwali holidays, when she comes back to her school and finds it prettier her heart rejoices.

HIL Limited believes that education is the right step towards bringing young minds together and creating a feeling of togetherness. Their social initiative has helped 75,000 children like Kamli by rebuilding their schools.

Now, these children would not miss out on basic education. They will also get to make beautiful memories that they will cherish for a very long time. This would also make their future stronger and more reliable. If you know any such school that needs attention, then please write to [email protected].

The Logical Indian appreciates HIL Limited for the wonderful initiative they have taken to make the future of so many underprivileged children better. Children are the future of the country and we hope that by making their future secure, we are taking our country forward.
