On Tuesday, hundreds of students from government-run residential ashram schools in Jawhar, Maharashtra, staged a dramatic Tamasha protest march followed by an indefinite sit-in at the Jawhar Tribal Development Project office. Their primary demand was the abolition of the centralized kitchen system, accompanied by a 13-point charter addressing systemic neglect and inadequate facilities in regional residential ashram schools.
The students highlighted serious health and safety concerns related to the centralized kitchen model, arguing that preparing meals at a single location and transporting them to remote ashram schools results in significant delays. This leads to students consuming stale food, posing a severe risk of widespread food poisoning. The students expressed frustration over the alleged indifference of the Tribal Development Department towards their basic living conditions and institutional facilities.
They surrounded the Jawhar project office, vowing to maintain the sit-in until all 13 demands are formally addressed and senior authorities provide written assurances.
