These students were also asked to dot the line with lime to mark the entry path of the minister.
As per the details available with "Early Times", Minister of State for Revenue, R&B Sunil Kumar Sharma was to participate in today's school function. In order to keep him in good humour and give a good impression to the visiting minister, the school management asked nearly a dozen students in school uniform to clear the track and dot it with lime so that the visiting minister could get good impression about the school management.
As soon the photographs of students working as labourers inside the school premises went viral on social media, the minister as well as the principal of the school defended the engagement of the students for said work and added that it was a part of their moral obligation.
While talking to "Early Times", MoS Sunil Kumar Sharma though distanced itself from the controversy, but added that there is nothing bad in case students clean their class room or school premises and put the blame on media for propagating these things instead of encouraging the students. He said that there is nothing wrong in using the services of students for such activity and said that in case teachers utilized the services of the students for personal work, then such thing is wrong.
