Child Development Minister Urges to Curb School Corporal Punishment in India
Journal Title: Psychology & Psychological Research International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Once again, inflicting punishment in schools towards students is one of the burning issues in India. Recently, Maneka Gandhi, a Union Women and Child Development minister of India wrote a letter to Human Resource Development minister that there is urgent need to curb corporal punishment in schools. This happened in wake of the media report on use of punishment in schools towards a group of students. On 15 February 2017 media (Times of India) reports about a principal of a government school in eastern Uttar Pradesh forced a group of girl students to run on the playground without their skirts for failing to memorise Sanskrit shlokas. Although, use of corporal punishment in schools is ban in India, repeated incidents of punishment towards students is an everyday affair in schools.
