🗞️Surprise Inspections Reveal Stark Reality 

The surprise inspections in Sagar district serve as a wake-up call for the entire Bundelkhand education system.

While the administration’s crackdown sends a strong message, sustainable change will depend on consistent monitoring, strict enforcement, and renewed dedication from senior officers and teaching staff alike.

 

Until then, the dream of quality education for Bundelkhand’s children remains locked behind closed school gates.


Sagar, Bundelkhand | October 30, 2025: A series of surprise inspections ordered by Collector Sandeep GR have exposed serious lapses in the functioning of government schools across the Bundelkhand region. 

Several schools were found closed during working hours, while in others, teachers were missing and students were nowhere to be seen. 

The findings have once again raised questions about the accountability of the teaching staff and the supervision mechanisms meant to uphold the integrity of public education.


🔹 Appathy Of Education Officers

  • Collector’s Directive: District Collector Sandeep GR had instructed education officials to ensure that teachers and staff mark e-attendance and remain present in schools during duty hours. Continuous and unannounced inspections were ordered across all government institutions.

  • Schools Found Closed:

    • Government Integrated Middle School, Bilhani (Banda block) – The Entire institution was found locked. Teachers Mohanlal Ahirwar, Jyoti Suryavanshi, Deshraj Chadhar, Dharmendra Chaubey, Suresh Kumar Deheriya, and Ramkumar Ahirwar (guest) were absent.

    • Government Middle School, Madainya God (Rahatgarh block) – Institution also found closed. All teachers absent; no students present.

    • Government Middle School, Madainya God (Rahatgarh block) – Teachers Neelima Paliwal, Ashok Chadhar, and Vineet Kumar Gupta were absent.

  • Partial Compliance:

    • Integrated Government High School, Kudari (Sagar block) – School operational, but teacher Lalit Soni was present without signing the attendance register.

  • Better Performance in Some Schools:
    In Bina block, inspections by Assistant Director M.K. Chadhar found schools like Government Excellent Higher Secondary School No.1, School No.2, and Government Girls Higher Secondary School functioning properly with full staff attendance. Only minor absences were reported at Sandipani Model Higher Secondary School.

  • Severe Negligence Reported in Kesli Block:
    Government High School Khamaria and Government High School Deori Naharmau were both found operating without any teachers present, though over 50 students were seen wandering outside. All teaching staff, including permanent and guest teachers, were absent.


⚖️ Administrative Action Taken

  • Salary Deduction: One day’s salary has been deducted from all absent government teachers.

  • Disciplinary Proceedings: Show-cause notices have been issued to errant staff, and one annual increment has been withheld for gross negligence.

  • Guest Teachers Terminated: Services of absent guest teachers have been proposed for termination.


🏫 What This Reveals About Public Education in Bundelkhand

The inspection findings reveal a disturbing picture of public education in Bundelkhand — a system weakened by apathy, absenteeism, and lack of accountability. Despite administrative reforms and technology-driven attendance systems, many schools remain non-functional, depriving rural children of basic learning opportunities.

The region’s educational crisis reflects not just poor teacher discipline but a deep structural failure in supervision and field monitoring.


👁️‍🗨️ Role of Senior Education Department Officers

  • Expected Role:
    Senior officers — including the District Education Officer (DEO), Assistant Directors, and Project Coordinators — are responsible for ensuring teacher presence, maintaining discipline, and monitoring educational activities in every school.

  • Ground Reality:
    Their role has often become ceremonial and paperwork-driven. Regular on-ground checks are rare, and when conducted, they expose long-standing negligence.

  • The latest inspections, however, indicate a renewed push for accountability under the Collector’s direction — a step that could mark the beginning of systemic reform if sustained.

The city corporation is launching an important initiative to stop the wastage of drinking water in the city called the "Faucet Installation Campaign," led by Commissioner Mr. Rajkumar Khatri

On Thursday, Commissioner Mr. Khatri visited the narrow lanes of the Krishnagar ward and checked the faucets after observing a strong flow in the drains. 

Those without faucets were educated about the importance of water, and the corporation's team installed faucets to prevent the wastage of drinking water. 

He noted that seeing the drain water flowing onto the road in these narrow lanes indicates that the wastage of drinking water not only leads to water loss but also affects the cleanliness of the city. 

By fixing faucet connections and various leaks in the city, the unnecessary flow of water will be stopped. This will prevent the roads from getting wet and accumulating dust and mud. 

Our sanitation workers will be able to clean easily, and the cleaning of drains will also become easier. Under this campaign, faucets will be installed in areas of the city where there are none, and citizens will be made aware of water conservation.

Commissioner Mr. Khatri mentioned that due to the absence of faucets in many places, a large amount of water is wasted during the drinking water supply, and if measured, it could amount to several gallons. 

This campaign will raise awareness among citizens and improve the monitoring by the corporation team, which will stop the accumulation of dirt on the roads and unnecessary wastage of water. 

The commissioner appealed to citizens, stating that by installing faucets, we can not only save water but also contribute to keeping our city clean and beautiful. The cooperation of citizens in water conservation is essential for the success of this campaign. 

The campaign to relocate dairies outside the city also continues. On Thursday, he inspected the Krishnanj Ward and instructed a dairy operator to move operations outside city limits. The operator’s water connection was disconnected, and officials were ordered to cut water supply to others who fail to relocate. Khatri emphasized that operating dairies within the city is strictly prohibited and relocation is essential for the city’s welfare.

He also clarified that if any area is found to be wasting water after a week, necessary action will be taken against the concerned individual. He urged citizens to ensure their connections are installed inside their homes and to turn off the faucet after filling water.

Saving every drop is essential for water conservation, and we can ensure sufficient availability of drinking water, a vital component of life, for our future generations.

Officials and employees from the city corporation and Tata Company were present during the campaign. Faucets were installed in the Krishnagar ward, and citizens were made aware of the importance of water and its conservation.

As per the commissioner's directives, a helpline number has been issued to stop water wastage. Following the instructions of Commissioner Mr. Rajkumar Khatri, helpline numbers have been issued by the officials of the city corporation and Tata for installing faucets and stopping water wastage in all wards. ]

Citizens can report water wastage by calling 07582-244552 for Pantnagar ward, 07582-366240 for Karila Sant Ravidas ward, 07582-367565 for Motinagar ward, and 07582-354590 for Shani Chari ward. After receiving the information, action will be taken to install faucets and stop water wastage in the relevant wards.

 In a decisive move to improve city cleanliness and curb health hazards, the Municipal Corporation of Sagar inspected six large dairies in Tilakganj’s Shukrawari ward

It directed their operators to relocate outside city limits. Officials warned that First Information Reports (FIRs) will be filed against those who fail to comply.

The dairies inspected included Kanha Dairy, Shankar Gyarsi Dairy, Raju Yadav Dairy, Bablu Yadav Dairy, Tilak Ghoshi Dairy, and Janu Yadav Dairy. During the inspection, the Municipal Commissioner noted severe sanitation issues, with animal dung and wastewater flowing directly into the city’s drainage system.

He said the Dairy Relocation Project (Hafsili) will be implemented rigorously to ensure Sagar achieves top rankings in cleanliness.
