Vidya volunteers working in place of teachers

Tandur: A primary school in Omla Naik Thanda in Peddamul mandal of Vikarabad district is being run with classes I to V, utilising the services of two vidya volunteers in the absence of regular teachers, because of lack of proper supervision.

With one volunteer absenting himself during the last ten days, the lone volunteer is teaching 45 students. Even the midday meal is not being arranged for the last one week, the students lamented.

When The Hans India took the issue of vidya volunteers to the notice of MEO Srinivas, he stated that one volunteer was on leave. He claimed that midday meals were being provided regularly to the students.
