The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has summoned a report regarding the dismissal of music teacher Anita Pathodiya from Sagar Public School located in Rohit Nagar. The commission has sought a response from Bhopal Collector, Police Commissioner and officials of School Education Department in 15 days.
The school management had humiliated the teacher and fired her from her job without giving notice. In this case, a complaint was made on behalf of the teacher to the Scheduled Caste Commission, the School Education Department and the police. In this, she said that she was expelled from the school without giving any notice and also humiliated her with casteist remarks.
NCSC has also sought a reply from the school on behalf of the School Education Department, but later the officials did not show any seriousness in the matter. At the same time, the school management forcibly put two months' salary in the account to cover up the matter.
Now in this case, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes has sought information from Bhopal Collector, Police Commissioner and School Education Department regarding the victim and the accused. In this, from the copy of the FIR till now, the complete details of the action taken have been asked to be made available within 15 days.
According to the complaint of the teacher, the school management removed her after she served the school for 8 years. The teacher alleges that she was not even paid salary. It is being told that the school management is torturing the old teachers with an aim to remove them, so that they did not have to pay the benefit of other facilities including gratuity.
Even before this, a teacher had complained to the School Education Department and CBSE against Sagar Public School. After this the recognition of the school was cancelled. Now again a teacher has complained against the school management.
