शासकीय प्राथमिक पाठशाला इटहा को

Sir/Madam,
We would like to bring in your kind attention that Kaitha Sarpanch
and IPC 354A accused
Sant Kumar Patel (resident of Iteha) has forcibly
closed the Govt.
Primary School Iteha (that comes under Shankul kendra
Amiliya). Now it is
planned that the School building would be used for
the Govt. Kota which
is ethically and legally not right activity.
We have the following
points/reasons to support that Govt primary
school - Iteha should
not be shut down forever:
1)
According to the Govt of India/MP schemes every village should have
its own schooling
system for the students of that village area. So
that there should not
be any problems for the primary level students
to travel far and wide
for getting good primary education. In that
sense Iteha Govt
Primary school was well located in right place and at
the Centre of the
Iteha village. The entire Iteha village consisiting
of about more than 800
of the residents.
2)
Almost all Harijan-Adivasi (SC/ST) children of the village area
used to go to the
school and were getting primary level education. In
this sense
Harijan-Adivasi of the Iteha village were very happy that
their small children
under the class of 5th level were getting
education at their
doorsteps.
3)
Apart from the Harijan-Adivasi students other many villagers
(mostly Patel groups)
has enrolled their children to that school as
well.
4)
Apart from the primary school also the Anganwadi Kendra was
hosted/operated by
this Govt. primary school building thus providing
good space and
security to the 50s of small under age of 5 years of
the village children
at the Anganwadi in that Primary school building.
5)
Usually from perspective of the RTE (Right to Education Act) if a
school has already
been opened in a village/locality what the govt and
district level school
administration should do is to try all possible
ways to provide good and
quality education to the students. If
sometimes there are
negative outcomes such as the enrollment of the
less number of the
student’s or some problems from the surrounding, in
that case what
district school administration should do is to try to
sort out such
problems. But certainly shutting down an already good
functioning school is
NOT a right thing to do. This will be
unfortunate for the
school students and village students for not
having a school in
their village area.
6)
Sometimes it was reported that the Govt Iteha primary school’s
teacher and headmaster
used to come drunk in school. This matter was
reported earlier and
also I have myself complained this issue in
written to the BEO
Gangev as well as CM Helpline of the Govt of Madhya
Pradesh. But there was
need to take punitive and disciplinary action
against those of
guilty teachers and headmasters of the school and
certainly it’s not the
right decision to shut down the Iteha primary
school.
7)
Now in the absence of the primary school in Iteha the
Harijan-Adivasi
(SC/ST) children of the Iteha village are forced to
travel far and wide to
get the right education. They are forced to
travel one kilometer
farther distance to the Govt. Primary school
KAITHA and about 3 KM
farther distance to travel to Govt. Higher
Secondary School
Amiliya. If there would still have been a school in
their own village
these small and poor students would have not been
forced to travel far
away to get education.
8)
(Kaitha Panchayat Sarpanch Sant Kumar Patel has criminal record) –
It’s unfortunate that
the district administration has shut down the
Iteha school upon the
recommendation of a sarpanch who already has
criminal record of IPC
354A, 294, 506 and 34 against the same women
Anganwadi teacher who
teaches in the same school building. It is
therefore apparently
clear that Sarpanch sant Kumar Patel is using his
sarpanch post to
torture and blackmail Iteha Anganwadi worker Mrs.
Rajkumari Patel W/o
Shri Sugriv Prasad Patel (resident of Iteha
village). Please refer
to the PG Portal Complaints to the PMO and also
application No. 1360
and 1361 dated 24-05-2016. By doing so Sarpanch
Sant Kumar Patel is
trying to force Anganwadi worker of Iteha to move
away from the Govt.
Primary school building Iteha and thus not only
the school will be
shut down the Anganwadi center will also be shut
down after sometimes.
Since this 354A accused Sarpanch of Kaitha
panchayat is trying to
transfer the Kota from Akalsi to the Iteha
Govt. School
building.In this way the problem will not just be only
for the school
students who lost their school but the problem will
also be to those of
the Anganwadi children.
9)
(Sarpanch Sant Kumar Patel of Kaitha is using machines and JCB for
the Panchayati work of
MGNREGA) – Even there have been more
corruptions in
Panchayati work of Kaitha Panchayat in Gangev block
Rewa. I have myself
complaints several times with photos and videos of
these corrupted
activities however it’s unfortunate that no actions
been so far taken in
these front.
Therefore looking into
several points/issues narrated above and given
the criminal
characteristics of the present Kaitha Panchayat sarpanch
Sant Kumar Patel such
recommendations ofn shutting down and closing of
the already running
primary educational institutions should NOT be
entertained. This will
be unfortunate for the Iteha students, for the
people who favors to
avail the good educations to the doorsteps and
even unfortunate for
the Govt of MP/India itself that in one place
Govt using so much of
the National/International/NGO and other funds
to promote the good
and quality education for each and every one in
remote and far, and in
other place its shutting down already
functioning/running
schools and institutions. It is now clear that
with these policies
people will be given the clear and direct message
that Govt itself is
trying to marginalize the villagers and sending
the clear message that
villagers are now forced by the Govt itself to
escape to better
places such as in city areas and developed and elite
areas. In this way
Govt is trying to distinguish/differentiate more on
the basis of poor and
rich, giving more preference to city dwellers
than the villagers,
and trying to send the message to the villagers
that their quality and
work is not good and they must go far away to
city areas and other
more developed areas to get the good life and
good education. That’s
what is now clear from the Govt’s policies and
attitude.
Last but not the least now that
what would be said
in this case that Govt
must NOT shut down already running/functioning
schools and
institutions rather it should set an independent committee
and try to find out
what are those basic reasons and what are those
causes that’s forcing
the villagers to escape in other places in
search of good life
and good education. Govt should itself try to
provide the good and
quality education even in the village areas
schools and should
also give timely good training to the school
teachers. There must
be an independent supervising team made of NGO
members, good retired
teachers, educational activists and other
educated and social
workers to inquire and find out what are those
things which can
improve village living and education better and Govt.
should try to
implement all such recommendations.
Certainly it’s bad idea to shut down already functioning schools in
village areas. It’s
against the basic human rights of the students and
children of that
locality. This is like violating the basic human
rights of the village
students to get good and quality education and
education at their
doorsteps. We all oppose to this move of the
education dept./Govt
and we request to reopen the Govt primary school
at Iteha as soon as
possible so that the village students can get good
and basic educations
and their doorsteps.
On behalf of all
educationist and villagers of the Iteha locality
(Gangev block Rewa) we
demand you Mr. prime Minister to reopen this
school and hope that
this Iteha primary school will be reopened fast,
in favor of, and in
the benefit of the Iteha villagers and students.
Thank You!
