Ajita Dwivedi’s six-year fight for the award
Teacher Ajita Dwivedi from Sidhi was finally presented the Governor’s Award for Innovation in Education after a six-year legal and departmental battle.
She was selected for 2020 award but her honour was put on hold after another teacher levelled allegations against her. The Sidhi DEO later confirmed that her selection was correct.
After years of correspondence and a legal battle, the High Court directed that she be given the award based on her 2020 selection. Following the court order, the education department reviewed the case and finally honoured her at the 2026 ceremony.
