A headmaster in Korba, Chhattisgarh, is facing criticism after being caught on video in an intoxicated state at Parsabhatha Primary School. The video, taken by local residents, shows the headmaster asleep, leading to concerns about his ability to fulfill his duties. This incident has sparked outrage, especially since the headmaster demonstrated a lack of basic knowledge about current affairs.
**The Sequence of Events**
The headmaster, identified as Chandrapal Paikra, arrived at the school under the influence of alcohol last Thursday. He was found asleep by villagers who had come to pick up their children. The video shows the headmaster responding incoherently when questioned about political figures, including the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. He also could not spell ‘beautiful’. He claimed to have come to the school as it was near his home.
**Educational Impact**
The school has a student population of 46, but only two teachers. Locals are worried about the negative impact on children’s education and well-being due to the headmaster’s behavior. Despite previous complaints, no concrete action has been taken.
