A Nawabganj block education officer faces disciplinary action after directing schools to collect cattle fodder, contrary to official guidelines. An ongoing campaign aims to generate community engagement in providing fodder for destitute cattle, with authorities stressing this initiative as a voluntary, charitable effort.

An education officer in Nawabganj has been reassigned after allegedly directing schools to collect cattle fodder, contrary to graded procedures. The move follows a viral social media order which incited protest from teachers' associations.

The district's Basic Education Officer, Vinita, emphasized the campaign should be a voluntary community effort, not obligatory for schools or teachers. This initiative seeks to support destitute cattle, encouraging participation from local communities, including social workers and farmers.

An explanation has been requested from the education officer involved, with potential disciplinary actions pending a satisfactory response as the authority underscores efforts for the district's animal welfare.
