Sikhya Kranti: Old Wine in New Bottles? Teachers Accuse Govt of Misrepresenting Projects
The much-hyped Sikhya Kranti campaign of the state government is facing a storm of criticism. Experts and government school teachers across the district allege that routine maintenance and completed projects are being falsely presented as new achievements.
Several teachers and sources within the Education Department have come forward with similar claims. They allege that numerous developmental works inaugurated under the campaign were, in fact, pre-existing projects or routine upkeep.
This casts a shadow on the credibility of the ambitious education initiative. The accusations raise serious questions about transparency and the effective utilisation of public funds.
The timing of these allegations, just weeks after the campaign’s launch on March 31, 2025, adds to the controversy. An independent inquiry is now being demanded to investigate the matter thoroughly.
This controversy highlights a larger issue of accountability in government schemes. The need for robust monitoring mechanisms and transparent reporting in public projects is now more critical than ever. The future of the Sikhya Kranti, and public trust in government initiatives, hangs in the balance.
