Students at PM Shri School in Jaroda, Nagaur, resumed a protest after the principal’s transfer order was not withdrawn, sealing the school gate and boycotting classes and tests.
Students at the PM Shri School in Jaroda, Nagaur district, reignited their protest on Thursday after the education department did not rescind the order transferring the school principal. The aggrieved pupils locked the main gate, staged a sit‑in on the surrounding road and announced a complete boycott of regular classes and upcoming tests.
The protest follows a previous demonstration on the same issue, which was temporarily halted when authorities promised a review. With the transfer still pending, the students demanded a reversal of the decision, citing concerns over disruption to academic continuity.
School officials confirmed that the principal’s transfer had been approved by the district education office and that no further action would be taken until a formal hearing. They appealed to the students to resume studies, warning that prolonged disruption could affect exam preparations.
Local police were deployed to monitor the situation but have not intervened directly, stating that the protest is a civil matter. The education department has been asked to provide a clear timeline for the transfer decision.
The incident underscores growing tensions in Rajasthan’s educational institutions, where staff reshuffles often trigger student unrest, especially when perceived as abrupt or unjustified.
