Ranchi: Students of a
residential Navodaya school in Jharkhand's Deoghar district staged
a hunger strike Sunday demanding the removal of the principal for
mismanagement.
The students were also angry over the poor quality of food.
"We get water only for half hour at 6 o'clock in the morning with
which three hundred students have to take a bath. Also, we are not
provided good food," said a student who sat on the hunger strike
but preferred to remain anonymous.
Another student, Aditi, said: "All the Navodaya schools get the
same funds but here we do not get facilities extended by the other
schools."
The school students had four days ago complained to the principal
about the poor quality of food and had threatened to go on a
hunger strike if things did not improve.
The students locked the main gate of the school before the hunger
strike.
School Principal Sunil Kumar admitted that some of the complaints
were genuine but termed the hunger strike a "childish act".
"We admit that there is a water problem in the school and the
quality of the food could be poor. We have to manage everything in
the given funds," he said.
