According to the information received, Bhavnaben Patel comes to Gujarat once a year during Diwali holidays. During this time, schools are closed. In such a situation, she neither has to teach the children nor go to school. The truth has also been told by the parents and the in-charge Acharya by making a written complaint against Bhavnaben to the authorities.
Despite this, no action has been taken against her by the authorities. Giving information in this regard, in-charge Acharya Parulben says that Bhavnaben has settled in Chicago since 2013. She comes only during Diwali holidays and is taking a government salary. As soon as this came to my knowledge, I informed my officials about this reality, so that the loss of children’s education can be prevented.
Last attendance recorded in school is on 25 January 2023
In the case, the Primary Education Officer says that Bhavnaben last attended the school on 25 January 2023. After this, she is on leave from 1 January 2024 with the condition of not taking salary. When this matter came to light during the visit to the school, Bhavnaben was given a show cause notice. We did not accept her reply and informed the education department to take action against her.
