Hazaribagh, Arif. There is an acute shortage of education officers in Hazaribagh district. The post of Deputy DSE is vacant since five months.

It has been almost 20 years since Daru, Tatijharia, Dadi, Chalkusa and Padma became five blocks, till now the post of Education Extension Officer (BEEO/School Inspector) has not been created in these blocks. At the same time, the post of school inspector is vacant in four blocks Sadar, Keredari, Vishnugarh and Barhi for a long time.
stop regular school inspections
Schools are not being inspected regularly due to non-availability of school inspectors. Monthly Guru Goshthi is affected. Mid-day meal is being operated through jugaad. Teachers are not being monitored. Salary of teachers is being made late. At the same time, the students studying properly are not getting the benefit of the teaching activities conducted by the Hazaribagh Jharkhand Education Project. It would not be wrong to say that the block where the post of School Inspector is vacant, the post has not been created yet. In these blocks, almost all work related to teaching work is affected. The education officers of the district claim that all the work has been kept smooth through Jugaad medium. At the same time, many teacher’s organizations have rejected the claim of the education officers and told it completely opposite to the reality.

school inspector swap game
The game of exchange of school inspector is going on in some blocks by the DSE office. A large number of teachers are affected by this. District President of All Jharkhand Primary Teachers Association Praveen Kumar said that DSE Santosh Gupta is busy in doing arbitrariness. A school inspector has been arbitrarily given the charge of several blocks. On the other hand, on June 26, 2023, without assigning any reason, the school inspector in-charge of Vishnugarh block was removed and Banshidhar Ram of Ichak block was made the school inspector in-charge. Praveen Kumar has alleged that Banshidhar Ram is close to DSE. Money has been recovered from Banshidhar Ram for making the school inspector in-charge.
