Students take to brooms
It’s not influenced by the Mission Swachh Bharat, but the dire necessity made them to take up brooms. The students of Zilla Parishad School at Gonegandla embarked on mission clean and green on Friday.
Yemmiganur: It’s not influenced by the Mission Swachh Bharat, but the dire necessity made them to take up brooms. The students of Zilla Parishad School at Gonegandla embarked on mission clean and green on Friday. As many as 1,342 students from neighbouring villages are pursuing studies here. But the school has neither a watchman nor a sweeper. Unable to bear the stinking surroundings and dusty benches and the fungus on the walls, the students decided themselves to spruce up their school.
Parents of the students, terming that it was not a good practice, felt some alternative arrangement should have been made. Local leaders of the student organisations Ashok and Mahbub Basha said it was an undesirable incident even though the teachers were aware that children below the age of 14 years should not be allowed to work.
A student said that cleaning up of the benches and classroom was a regular thing in the school. Students take up this task on sharing basis, he revealed. When contacted Seshu Phani Raju, the head master of the school said that he requested the higher-ups several times in this regard but in vain. They advised us to appoint a sweeper and watchmen and pay them from our salaries, he lamented.
