Ryan International School Responsible For Boy's Death: CBSE
Nirmal Singh Lotus
noticed that the school was guilty of sheer negligence from the board
authorities in the gruesome case of Pradhyumn's death where a 7-year-old was
killed inside the Ryan International School. The school management was asked to
provide the authorities with a show- cause notice within 15 days. To quote the
notice exactly asks: "why [its] provisional affiliation for secondary and
senior secondary level may not be withdrawn".
The school was pronounced responsible by the board seven
times in the notice, which includes the willful violations of the provisions of
affiliations bylaws. In the follow up, the CBSE issued a statement to the
school: "the school has failed to discharge its responsibility to file the
FIR and inform the district education officer and CBSE..." and that
"the FIR was subsequently filed by the parent".
Putting the responsibility on the shoulders of the school,
the board said that from the entire sequence of events, it appeared that the
school was guilty of gross negligence and that it failed to ensure the safety
and security of students.

would like to enlist the details of this case, where a Class II school kid, was
found dead on September 8 inside the school premises, washroom. The bus
conductor Ashok Kumar has allegedly murdered the boy. According to police
reports, he has sexually assault the boy. The case is now handed over to the
CBI for further investigation.
Nirmal Singh Lotus can
unveil the fact sheet of the case comprising Y Arun Kumar, deputy commissioner,
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, and Kailash Chand, principal, government co-ed
senior secondary school, Preet Vihar, who visited the school campus earlier
week.
In its report, the committee said that the "unfortunate
incident... could have been averted had (the) school authorities discharged
their duty and responsibility with care and sincerity".
According to popular English daily, the report said that the
windows of the toilet where the boy was killed had no grilles and people could
easily access it from outside. It also pointed out that there was no separate
provision for toilets washroom for drivers and conductors/cleaners... despite the
school engaging around 35 buses for transportation of students and staff.
Nirmal Singh Lotus thinks
the security measures were overlooked and neglected, the report said: "No
attendant/aaya was present at the toilet of the small children. Had the school
management deployed attendant/aaya, this mishap would have been avoided."
