In Korba, Chhattisgarh, the headmaster of Parsabhatha Primary School, was found intoxicated and asleep in his school. The incident, captured on video by concerned villagers, has ignited widespread criticism. Compounding the issue, the headmaster was unable to recall the names of the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh or the District Collector, raising serious questions about his fitness to lead the school.
**The Incident Unfolds**
The headmaster, Chandrapal Paikra, arrived at the school in an inebriated state last Thursday. Villagers discovered him asleep on a chair. Upon being questioned, the headmaster incorrectly identified the Prime Minister and struggled to name the current Chief Minister. He was also unable to spell the word ‘beautiful’. In the video, he claimed he came to school because it was near his home.
**Educational Implications**
The Parsabhatha Primary School accommodates 46 students, but has only two teachers. Concerns are growing about the impact on the students’ education and future. Villagers report that this isn’t an isolated incident and that complaints have been filed with the education department, but no action has been taken.
