In Uttar Pradesh’s Basti district, the Jhinku Lal Triveni Ram Chaudhary Inter College is denying admission to girls. The government inter college cited a lack of separate toilets, a boundary wall, and a common room as the reasons for the refusal. The situation gained attention when a father gifted a toilet seat to the school authorities to secure his daughter’s admission. Villagers allege that this undeclared ban on female students is a move to help a private inter college operating in the same area. The school principal cited safety concerns and a lack of basic facilities, pointing to a resolution passed by the management committee regarding the inadequate infrastructure. Following the incident, district authorities issued a notice to the institution. A crackdown is currently underway, and it is expected that the institute will allocate space for a girls’ toilet. The report was featured on the Get Real India broadcast.
