On Monday, BDO Kundan Kumar conducted surprise inspections of several schools in Gopalpur block, Bhagalpur, to assess the state of education and the midday meal scheme. During these inspections, serious deficiencies were found in academic standards and food quality at institutions including Lalji Middle School.

At one primary school, the BDO discovered that students of classes four and five were being taught curriculum meant for classes one and two. He severely reprimanded the teachers, questioning why students in higher grades were still receiving education meant for lower classes. BDO Kumar emphasized that it is the teachers' responsibility to provide education appropriate to the children's class and intellectual level, warning that such negligence would severely impact their academic development.

The midday meal arrangement was also found to be unsatisfactory. According to the BDO, children were not being provided with quality food, and some were even seen discarding their meals due to its poor quality. Expressing displeasure, the BDO instructed the headmaster to immediately improve the food's quality.

The BDO made it clear that no negligence in children's education or midday meals would be tolerated in schools. He directed all teachers to improve teaching arrangements and provide quality education appropriate to their students' grades. This surprise inspection by the BDO caused a stir among the school teachers.
