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 these allegations. They claim that many developmental works inaugurated under the campaign were, in fact, already finished or were simply routine upkeep.
This casts a serious shadow on the credibility of the ambitious education initiative. The allegations suggest a possible misuse of funds and a deliberate attempt to inflate the campaign’s apparent success.
The timing of these revelations is particularly sensitive, coming as it does just weeks before the next state assembly elections. This raises questions about the government’s commitment to genuine educational reform and its accountability to the taxpayers. The opposition is likely to seize upon this controversy.
