In Dhanbad, Jharkhand, the district education authorities have withheld the April salaries of around 20 teachers, including the warden, at the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) due to poor performance in the CBSE Class X examinations. Out of 73 students, only 7 passed, while 62 were placed in the compartmental category and 4 failed entirely. This alarming outcome has led to concerns regarding the quality of education provided at the institution. The deputy commissioner, Aditya Ranjan, directed the district education officer, Abhishek Jha, to issue an order halting salaries until further notice. The order emphasizes the need for accountability among teaching staff and warns of stricter actions if improvements are not seen in upcoming examinations. The school management is tasked with monitoring attendance, improving teaching methods, and providing additional academic support to struggling students. Notably, many students performed poorly in mathematics and science, prompting the school to take corrective measures, including replacing underperforming teachers. Despite the recent hiring of 11 teachers with salaries between ₹70,000 to ₹80,000 per month, the lack of improvement in results has intensified scrutiny over the school's operations.
