#sagarwatch #news #education #suspended

Sagar Watch News/ March 13, 2026/ In a sweeping disciplinary action exposing financial irregularities, administrative lapses and misconduct within government schools, Sagar Division Commissioner Anil Suchari has ordered the immediate suspension of two principals and one teacher from three districts. 

The officials have been punished for alleged financial mismanagement, irregular recruitment of guest teachers, violation of hostel rules, misconduct with staff and repeated disciplinary issues, highlighting serious concerns about governance and oversight in parts of the education department.

The action follows inquiry reports submitted by district authorities and education department officials, which found prima facie evidence of irregularities and misconduct.

Suspension of Bhangarh School In-Charge Principal

Deepchandra Chaudhary, in-charge principal of Government Higher Secondary School, Bhangarh in Bina block of Sagar district, has been suspended following serious allegations of financial and administrative irregularities.

The action was taken on the proposal of the Joint Director of Public Instruction, Sagar Division, after an inquiry conducted by a team constituted by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Bina.

The inquiry report confirmed several irregularities, including:

• Serious financial irregularities in school management

• Irregular recruitment of guest teachers in violation of rules

• Unauthorized entry into Kasturba Girls’ Hostel at Bhangarh under inappropriate circumstances

• Indecent behaviour with female teachers

• Illegal appointment of a hostel warden in a hostel run under the Samagra Shiksha scheme

Teacher Suspended in Niwari for Indiscipline

In Niwari district, Higher Secondary School teacher Neetika Tiwari, posted at Government Higher Secondary School, Puchhikar Guwan, has also been suspended for persistent indiscipline and disputes with colleagues.

According to the district administration, an inquiry conducted by a committee formed by the District Education Officer found that:

• The teacher frequently engaged in disputes with school staff

• The behaviour caused mental harassment among colleagues

• Academic work in the school was being affected

• Her conduct was not cooperative or harmonious with the staff

Khajuraho Principal Suspended for Recruitment Irregularities

Another action was taken in Chhatarpur district, where Principal Ganesh Yadav, posted at Government Higher Secondary School, Khajuraho, has been suspended over irregularities.

An inquiry ordered by the district collector revealed that while serving as principal at Government Higher Secondary School, Daharra, during academic sessions 2018–19 and 2019–20, Yadav allegedly:

• Manipulated the guest teacher selection process

• Committed financial irregularities during administrative operations

What the Incident Reveals About the Education Department

The suspensions underscore recurring governance issues in parts of the school education system, particularly related to guest teacher recruitment, financial transparency, hostel management and staff discipline.

The cases indicate a pattern of irregular appointments, weak institutional oversight and delayed disciplinary action, often detected only after formal complaints trigger inquiries by district administrations.

Officials say the latest action signals a tighter administrative crackdown on misconduct and financial mismanagement in government schools across the Sagar division.
