Students Spotted Washing Utensils After Mid-Day Meal At Govt School In Morena; Parents Demand Action After Video Goes Viral

Morena (Madhya Pradesh): A shocking video surfaced from a government school in Madhya Pradesh's Morena, showing students washing utensils!

The incident happened at Government Primary School in Khargapura (Porsa Tehsil), where children were seen washing their plates after the midday meal. The video has sparked anger from the residents and netizens, with many questioning if the students are sent to school for studies or domestic work!

Parents have raised strong objections, and demands for an investigation by the Education Department are also being made, as the video went viral on social media.

According to information, locals were passing by the school when they spotted students washing their plates. One of them stopped and recorded the entire incident on the phone.

The video has raised questions about whether making children wash dishes is a regular practice at the school or if this occurred under exceptional circumstances.

Parents complained that the primary objective for children in schools is education. While the midday meal scheme provides food to students, placing the responsibility of cleaning utensils on them after the meal is considered inappropriate. People have urged the Education Department to investigate the school's operations and verify the authenticity of the video.

They have also demanded strict action against the authorities concerned if the investigation reveals that children were regularly made to wash dishes.
