Being a teacher might be a decent paying job in India, but it would take years for some teachers to make Rs 1 crore. One teacher employed in Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) did that in 12 months.
KGBV is a residential setup for girls from weaker sections of society. This teacher allegedly “worked” at 25 schools simultaneously, earning a total of over Rs 1 crore in salary from these schools over 13 months till February 2020.
The matter came to light when a database of teachers was being created. The digital database of teachers on the Manav Sampada portal required teachers’ personal records, date of joining and promotion.
Once the records were uploaded, it was found that Anamika Shukla, with the same personal details, had been listed at 25 schools.
Director general of school education, Vijay Kiran Anand, said a probe is under way to ascertain the facts about this teacher who has gone incommunicado.
A probe is on and if allegations are true, an FIR will be lodged. The transfer of money (salary) in her bank account has also not been done. Divisional officers are investigating the matter. Strict action will be taken if any teacher is found to be working as a proxy teacher in other schools,” the officer said.
