165 SC/ST students vacate hostel alleging neglect
PTI | 03:12 PM,Dec 06,2011
Rayagada (Odisha), Dec 6 (PTI) Alleging neglect by authorities, 165
inmates of government-run 'Sevasram' school in Maoist-hit and
tribal-dominated Rayagada district of Odisha have left their hostel.
"All the 165 boy students of the Sevasram at Dangasurada have left
their hostel on Sunday evening. We are inquiring into the matter",
district welfare officer Damodar Meher said today. Out of total 326
students, from Class I to Class X, in the school there were 205 boys
and 121 girls. Of them, 165 boys and 100 girls were putting up in the
school hostel. The students alleged they had been writing to the
authorities to solve their problems but it had fallen on deaf ears.
Apparently peeved over the alleged neglect, the students put up
posters on the school walls and nearby places before leaving the
hostel en masse. Their problems included alleged lack of sanitation
and drinking water facility in the hostel leading to health hazards,
inadequate teaching staff, non-payment of pocket money, incomplete
hostel building for girl students and non-cooperation and misbehaviour
of the staff. The students had drawn the attention of the district
collector, sub-collector and block development officer besides the DWO
to their problems, Meher said. The additional district welfare officer
(ADWO) and local welfare extension officer (WEO) had gone to the spot
to inquire into the matter, Meher said, adding students have
apparently gone back to their respective villages. PTI COR SKN PS NN
