The four-storey flagship school by the Delhi government will feature 72 smart classrooms, 11 advanced labs, a central library, and a multipurpose hall for 250 students.
All the other students were sent to their homes, the police said, adding that an investigation is underway.
Samagra Shiksha Kerala’s ‘Beach-to-Bench’ programme aims to strengthen the bond between children and schools, counter belief that ‘mother sea’ will provide everything.
CBSE also strongly advised schools to follow NCERT textbooks in Classes 1-8 and warned of action for prescribing book with “objectionable content”.
According to Ram Milan Kushwaha, the principal of the school located in Bihara village, the incident occurred just after the morning prayer when the students were heading to their classrooms.
The principal declined the demand of the students and parents seeking permission to go outside every day during school hours to perform namaz, citing their safety and the discipline of the institution.
After coming to know about the crime committed by the teacher, hundreds of parents of school students assembled outside the institution and held a protest shouting slogans against its management and the accused.
