Odisha
Child Rights Commission- A proven Trojan Horse
·
A Commission
which is empowered to protect
rights of the children, has masterminded to destroy academic career of a Child
by establishing unholy alliance with
Private English Medium School
·
The Civil Society Groups and
Activists should be aware of the heinous activity of the members of Child Rights Commission.
·
Though a Child is waiting to
get justice, the case is hanging in the
Commission.
·
The Commission is neither
disposing the case nor passing any order.
Dear friends
Srikant Auropratik, son of
Prakash Ch. Nayak and Mrs. Amita Subhada
( M-8763790311) , a Class-9 student was
physically tortured, humiliated and
mentally harassed ( scolding and misbehaving) by the authority of Takshashila Model School, IRC Village,
Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar and suddenly
dropped to Class-VIII in the middle of the year on the ground of bad performance. When the
parents asked for Progress Report of
the child, the authority of the school continued to ignore their request till yet. The parents were also threatened to
take back to other schools without citing any ground. Though the parents appraised
the authority that “no school was
ready to take student in mid-session as CBSE registration has completed”, the
authority remained adamant and
asked the parents to take the children
back. Ultimately, Srikant
Auropratik was humiliated and
suffered from mental depression and
forced to leave the school on 29.10.15.
Then, on 2nd Nov.15, the parents filed the petition before Secretary, School & Mass Education, Govt. of Odisha on Grievance day and explained the harassment
and handed over the petitions and the documents. The Secretary immediately
issued order to Director, secondary Education and Director, Elementary
Education for necessary action so that child is not dropped out. But astonishingly, after one month, the
Director, Elementary Education ordered enquiry into the matter and directed
DEO, Khurda and BEO, Bhubaneswar to look into the matter and report back within
7 days. (GRC Application No:
269/2850/15, DEO. Khurda letter No: 21125 dated 4th
December, 2015). On 13.1.16, the
Assistant Block Education Officer introducing him as Inquiry Officer made a call
to the parents and sought the
information. Though three months passed, no step has been
taken by the administration to get the child admitted in the school.
Then, on 3.11.15,
the Parents approached the Odisha Child Rights Commission by filling complaints
levelling details of allegation, mental torture, harassment caused to their
son and
seeking quick justice for their child. Ms. Rajalaxmi Das, Member, OSCPCR registered
the case ( Case No.-810/15 ) on 4.11.15
and initiated the enquiry. The details
of enquiry is as follows.
a.
On 12.11.15,
the Commission heard
from the Child and father
,but did not allow the Mother to be heard, though she was involved in the case
and victim of the rough behaviour
of the authority of the school.
b.
After
around one month on 10.12.15, the two-member Commission heard the case
inviting both the parties. Interestingly, the Commission did not allow the
representative of the petitioner to plead their case, in spite of several
requests.
c.
On 16.12.15,
the Commission again issued notice for hearing of the case. The petitioners approached the Commission to
allow their representative to plead the case. While the Commission turned down
the request of the petitioner, but allowed the representative of the School
Authority. The Case was heard and
nothing happened.
d.
The
Commission verbally told the parents that the case to be heard on 28th
Dec.15. But the hearing was abruptly postponed and no communication
was made to the petitioner.
e.
Till yet,
the Commission has neither issued
any interim order nor any final decision of the case. The parents are still waiting to
get justice.
f.
Though
the parents requested the Commission to give them the proceedings of the
hearing, it was denied to them.
g.
The
Commission is hanging the case without
giving any final decision.
It is proved that
the members of the Child Rights Commission are acting
as agent of Private Schools at the cost of the interest of the child.
