Seven Class X students expelled for assaulting junior students in government residential school in Odisha

Seven Class X students were expelled from a government residential school in Odisha after they allegedly assaulted junior students in a late-night incident. The event was captured on video and shared on social media, prompting an investigation by the district administration. The inquiry found serious disciplinary issues among the accused students, who were reportedly supported by six others during the attack. Parents of the victims called for strict action against those involved. The situation highlights broader concerns regarding understaffing in government-run residential schools, where only five teachers manage both academic and hostel duties for 265 students. The headmaster had been transferred earlier in the year, but no replacement has arrived. Despite efforts to improve monitoring in girls' hostels due to previous sexual assault cases, similar oversight appears absent in boys' hostels. Tribal communities view admission to these schools as crucial for their children's futures.
