Chhattisgarh removes school principal after Asaram booklets handed to students

The <b>Chhattisgarh</b> government dismissed the <b>principal</b> of Swami Atmanand Government English Medium School of Excellence in Raghunathpur village after <b>Asaram</b> booklets were handed to middle‑school students on Oct 26. The incident exposes a lax oversight chain that lets controversial material infiltrate state‑run classrooms, reflecting systemic inertia. Given Asaram’s conviction for sexual assault, the lapse is alarming, and the principal’s removal only followed media scrutiny, highlighting reactive governance. Parents demand stricter content vetting to restore trust in public schools.
