In a heart-wrenching incident a female contractual computer teacher of Kshudiram Basu english medium school, also the mother of an autistic child and a newborn infant, was forced to resign her job because of ill-treatment and conspiracy of the mean-minded headmaster Samir Ranjan Das. The name of the hapless female teacher can not be disclosed because of her request but this portal is in possession of documentary evidence of whatever happened to her.
According to authentic sources the female teacher, mother of an autistic and partially dumb son, had joined Kshudiram Basu english medium school in July 2021 as a contractual computer teacher under the outsourced entity Sibin Learning Cart private limited on a monthly pay of Rs 8 thousand only . Since her husband is an employee in a private entity she used her salary for treatment and therapy of her autistic son. Since she was advised by doctors to keep constant watch on and in constant touch with her son she had requested the headmaster Samir Ranjan Das to allow her to come late in the school because her computer classes have to be taken in sixth and seventh periods only . But Samir Ranjan Das flatly refused and upon repeated persuasion he told the teacher to get a permission letter from the director and he would let her come only for 6th and 7th periods.
The teacher then met the director of education N.C.Sharma and told her problem and got a patient hearing from the senior man who laughingly said that this should not be a problem and spoke to mean-minded Samir Ranjan Das, his student at one time, and asked him to allow the female teacher to attend school only for 6th and 7th periods. But Samir Ranjan Das , true to his mean and vindictive nature, took this differently and started ill-treating and abusing the hapless female teacher in front of all on one pretext or the other. He had got the bizarre and false idea that the female teacher had complained to the director against him but that was absolutely wrong.
When this was on the female teacher got sick with four months of pregnancy and , unable to bear the constant ill-treatment and insults she filed a complaint with the director but the matter was resolved as an OSD visited the school and spoke to Samir Ranjan Das and representatives of the outsourced Sibin Learning Cart PVT. The teacher then had to go on maternity leave without pay. But when she came back to rejoin service in the school in March this year the mean and vindictive Samir Ranjan Das asked why she had come to rejoin. Not satisfied with reply furnished by the female teacher the headmaster Samir Ranjan Das started harassing her daily and went to the extent of filing a written complaint against her to the Sibin authority after managing to obtain clearance from the SMC of the school. She then requested the Sibin Learing Cart PVT authority to come to the school and verify whether she was performing her duties properly. But being under pressure from the headmaster Samir Ranjan Das the Sibin Learning Cart PVT authority transferred the helpless female teacher to a remote school , at least five kms south of the ADC headquarter at Khwamlung. As a result the female teacher was forced to resign her job and is now in critically poor condition with her two children one of which is autistic. Sources in the education department said that the department’s lack of control over the unruly, ill-behaved and corrupt staff in the schools and outsourcing of important teaching tasks to avaricious and insensitive private agencies have led to this situation of helplessness for the teachers, specially the contractual ones.
