The Rajasthan Education Department has issued a notice to Jaipur’s Neerja Modi School following the death of a Class 4 student, Amayra. The department warned that the school’s recognition and No Objection Certificate could be withdrawn if its response proves unsatisfactory.
A committee led by District Education Officer (Elementary) Ramniwas Sharma conducted an inquiry into the incident. The investigation report was submitted to senior officials and the education minister. Based on the findings, the department served a formal notice to the school.
The school has been given seven days to submit its reply. Officials stated that strict action will follow if the explanation fails to address safety concerns. The notice clearly mentions possible cancellation of the school’s NOC and derecognition.
The inquiry report highlighted serious lapses in student safety. Investigators found an inadequate number of security guards and support staff on campus. The report also noted that the accident site was washed with water, raising questions about administrative conduct.
Further findings revealed structural safety issues. The school’s five-storey D-Block lacked iron grills above stair railings. Open areas on the ground floor had no protective netting. Investigators also observed the absence of guards or helpers on each floor to monitor young students.
The department described these shortcomings as grave negligence and stressed that child safety remains non-negotiable.
