Raichur, July 25: A headmaster from a government primary school in Raichur district has been suspended after being found drunk on school premises during working hours.

Ningappa, the headmaster of Ambadevinagar Government Lower Primary School in Gonal Camp, Maski taluk, was reportedly found sleeping in front of the school’s mid-day meal room on July 24 after consuming alcohol. The incident was widely reported in the media, prompting action from the education department.

Despite repeated complaints from parents alleging that Ningappa would come to school drunk daily, behave inappropriately, and neglect teaching duties, no action had been taken earlier.

Taking the issue seriously, the Block Education Officer (BEO) of Sindhanur obtained reports from the Cluster Resource Person (CRP), Block Resource Person (BRP), and education coordinators. Based on findings of negligence and misconduct, the headmaster was suspended with immediate effect.
