Gujarat Takes Over Maninagar School Administration
The Gujarat government has taken control of a school in Maninagar, Ahmedabad, because of some problems.
A few months ago, a student stabbed another student, and after that, people found out the school was not following all the rules.
The government says the school didn't have the right papers, didn't get permission for some things, and even sold books, which is not allowed.
The school is run by different groups, and the land it's on is leased to someone else.
So, the government is now in charge of the school to make sure everything is okay.
More than 10,000 students go to this school, and the government says no new students can join until things are fixed.
Gujarat government takes over administration of Maninagar school due to irregularities and a stabbing incident.
Ahmedabad City District Education Officer appointed as administrator for three school sections.
School found to have breached lease agreement, lacked necessary permissions, and engaged in profiteering.
No new admissions allowed until further notice.
Investigation revealed unclear trust management, lack of minority status certificate, and failure to submit required documents.
