My name is Anand. I am calling from Adivasi Adhikar manch in Majhgawan in Satna district of MP. The situation of adivaisis is very bad in the region. I went to a school the other day and both the teachers were absent. One of the teacher works in another school, I was told. The samiti which runs the mid-day meal said they need to give commission so they can not give food according to set menu. I have complained about it but no action has been taken.

My name is Neelu Dahiya. I am calling from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. Today I went to visit a highschool and found that only in one class there was some education going on but rest of the children were loitering around and the teachers were reading newspaper on the sun. When I asked the teachers they said the students come to school only for mid-day meal. I did not find the teachers interested in teaching at all. This should change.
