Parents Protest Worms in Food, Poor Conditions at Eklavya School
Some kids at a special boarding school called Eklavya Model Residential School are having a tough time.
For over two weeks, they haven't been getting proper meals, often just eating chili powder because the contract for vegetables ran out.
On one weekend, parents visited and were shocked to find worms in the food served to the children.
They are also worried because the teachers aren't always on time and the school seems neglected.
Parents are asking the people in charge to fix the food, clean up the school, and make sure the teachers are doing their jobs so the students can be healthy and safe.
Parents discovered worms in food served at Eklavya Model Residential School in Pogullapally.
Students have been receiving inadequate meals, often consisting of only chilli powder, for over 15 days due to an expired vegetable contract.
Parents also reported poor hygiene and lack of teacher punctuality at the school.
The school management remained silent when parents raised concerns about the inadequate diet.
Parents are demanding immediate action from authorities to improve food quality, hygiene, and discipline.
