In Bareilly, an education department order directed schools to arrange hay for stray cattle (46 kg per school, 100 quintals per block), warning disciplinary action for non-compliance. Teachers protested, citing heavy non-academic duties like census and election work. DM said he was unaware and urged voluntary donations. The order was later made voluntary, but teachers’ unions threatened protests.
Bareilly: A fresh order issued by the Basic Education Department in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district has triggered strong resentment among government school teachers, who have been asked to arrange hay for the maintenance of stray cattle while already being engaged in census-related duties.
Under the directive, every school has been assigned the responsibility of arranging 46 kg of hay, while each block has been given a target of collecting 100 quintals. The hay is to be deposited at the offices of the Block Development Officer or Veterinary Officer within a week.
The order, issued by the Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) citing instructions from the district administration, warned of strict departmental action against schools and teachers found negligent in carrying out the task.
The directive quickly sparked outrage among teachers, many of whom said they were already burdened with non-academic duties such as census work, election assignments, BLO responsibilities and voter list revision exercises.
