The state education department has initiated disciplinary proceedings against the Block Education Officers of Ashta and Sehore after concerns were raised about irregularities in the allocation and verification of roughly Rs 81 lakh for school repairs.
The Madhya Pradesh education department has opened a departmental inquiry into alleged irregularities involving approximately Rs 81 lakh earmarked for repairs in government schools. The probe focuses on the tendering process, physical verification of completed work, and subsequent payments linked to the scheme.
Two Block Education Officers – one from Ashta and another from Sehore – have been identified as the officials responsible for overseeing the disbursement. Preliminary findings suggest lapses in the verification of work done and possible deviations from standard tender procedures.
The department has issued notices to the officers and suspended further disbursements until the investigation is concluded. Officials said the action aims to ensure transparency and safeguard public funds allocated for school infrastructure.
If the inquiry confirms misconduct, the officers could face disciplinary penalties as per state service rules. The case underscores growing scrutiny over public expenditure in the education sector across the state.
