90 of 165 SC/ST students return to hostel

Rayagada (Odisha), Dec 7 (PTI) At least 90 of the 165 inmates of
government-run 'Sevasram' school in Maoist-hit and tribal-dominated
Rayagada district of Odisha, who had fled alleging neglect by
authorities, have returned, official sources said today. "165 boy
students of the Sevasram at Dangasurada had left their hostel on
Sunday evening. However, 90 of them have returned to hostel last
night", district welfare officer Damodar Meher said today. Of the
total 326 students from Class I to Class X in the school there were
205 boys and 121 girls. Of them, 165 boys and 100 girls were put up in
the school hostel. The students alleged they had written several times
to the authorities seeking quick steps to solve their problems but it
had fallen on deaf ears. Apparently peeved over the alleged neglect
like lack of basic amenities, the students put up posters on the
school walls and nearby places before leaving the hostel. Their
problems included alleged lack of sanitation and drinking water
facility in the hostel leading to health hazards, inadequate teaching
staff, non-payment of pocket money, incomplete hostel building for
girl students and non-cooperation and misbehaviour of the staff. The
students had drawn the attention of the district collector,
sub-collector and block development officer besides the DWO to their
problems, Meher said. The additional district welfare officer (ADWO)
and local welfare extension officer (WEO) had gone to the spot to
inquire into the matter, Meher said, hoping the remaining 75 students
would also return soon.
