Teachers at Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, are facing heightened stress as they juggle multiple academic responsibilities while being pressured by the government to register for Census duty. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has threatened teachers and principals with First Information Reports (FIR) for not providing complete staff data required for the Census. Teachers express frustration over being compelled to take on additional duties during a critical academic period, which includes internal exams and preparation for new admissions. One principal highlighted that April is particularly hectic, with teachers working long hours without adequate breaks. Additionally, there are concerns regarding the fairness of assigning Census duties to teachers from private unaided schools while neglecting those from government institutions. The presence of multiple school associations complicates collective action, leaving teachers feeling anxious and unheard. As their demands are largely ignored, some educators are considering legal recourse to address their grievances.
