Bihar School Students' Classroom Dance To Bhojpuri Song Sparks Debate Online; District Magistrate Orders Probe After Viral Video

A video capturing school students performing a classroom dance in Bihar has ignited a heated debate online. The footage, recorded at Jagdayal Singh Plus-2 High School in Dedhgaon, Rohtas district, shows 14 students singing along to a Bhojpuri song with questionable lyrics inside a smart classroom. Equipped with digital facilities to facilitate technology-based learning, the classroom was meant to enhance students' skills.

The video's viral spread on social media caught the attention of education department officials, prompting an immediate inquiry. School principal Lal Bahadur Singh Yadav was directed to conduct a thorough investigation and submit a report to the concerned authorities. Rohtas District Magistrate Deepak Kumar announced the formation of an inquiry team to determine responsibility and take appropriate action under education department guidelines.

This incident has brought to light concerns over the oversight of students and the utilization of digital education facilities. Smart classrooms have been introduced to complement traditional teaching methods with digital learning tools and technology. The ongoing investigation has raised questions about the supervision of students within the smart classroom facility, including how they gained access, who was responsible for supervision, and whether school guidelines were followed during the incident.
