Dashapalla,8th Nov 2025: At the Gauda Pankalasahi Government Primary School under the Dashapalla Block, deputation teacher Kalandi Charan Sahu continues to hold the charge of Headmaster.
Even after the appointment of a regular teacher, the handover of duties has not yet taken place. Following a report on this issue published in Darshan, the education department took note and initiated action.
According to information received, Assistant Teacher (Ex-Cadre) Gangadhar Pradhan of the same school, in a letter dated October 8, expressed his inability to assume the role of Headmaster, citing personal and family problems.
Due to this, the handover process could not be completed, as confirmed by the Block Education Officer (BEO) in an official communication (Letter No. 2684, dated 31/10/2025).
On the other hand, Mr. Pradhan, in his written request submitted to the in-charge Headmaster, mentioned that he would be willing to take charge after his family issues are resolved.
However, his refusal to assume the Headmaster’s responsibilities while still continuing to teach classes has raised several questions among staff and the local community.
