A video of pupils sweeping classrooms and cleaning toilets at Amwar Government Primary School in Mandla went viral, leading the Madhya Pradesh education department to issue show‑cause notices to four teachers.
A short clip captured students at Amwar Government Primary School in Mandla using brooms to clean classrooms and the school toilet. The footage, shared widely on social media, sparked outrage among parents and officials who said the practice undermines the dignity of learners.
The Madhya Pradesh School Education Department responded by sending show‑cause notices to four teachers employed at the school, asking them to explain why they allowed children to perform the cleaning tasks.
During the subsequent inquiry, one of the teachers was found absent without prior notice, raising further concerns about supervision and accountability at the institution.
The department has said it will take appropriate disciplinary action based on the teachers' responses and the findings of the investigation.
