IN HIMACHAL PRADESH, A SCHOOL HAS JUST ONE STUDENT WHILE IN JHARKHAND, CLASS VIII STUDENTS DONT HAVE HISTORY TEXTBOOKS
This village school has just one student and two teachers
SHIMLA: A primary village school in Himachal Pradesh has just one student but two teachers and not surprisingly its functioning depends entirely on the lone pupil.
So when the Class V student of Manipur districts Dhariyana government primary school, decides not to attend school, the premises are locked up and the two teachers, along with other staff, are forced to call it a day and go home.

Villagers say this school was opened some 15 years ago and had many students to start with. But over the years, villagers began sending their children to nearby private schools, which they say are better.
The school has no students from Class I to Class IV.
Ironically, the school falls in Mewa, the home constituency of state Education Minister I D Dhiman.

RANCHI: Students of Class VIII in Jharkhand will suddenly find themselves without their history textbooks as the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) says the books were printed without its permission and have to be withdrawn.
The NCERT has asked the states Human Resource Development (HRD) Department to get the copyright permission before it gets the Class VIII history textbooks printed.
We had sent several reminders to the NCERT last year regarding the copyright. The NCERT, however, did not respond to our request and we considered it a silent acceptance of our proposal, claimed an HRD official here.
