Why single out teachers

Sir,
With deepest  sorrow  I want to bring it to the notice  of the concerned authorities that   a teacher is recruited to impart quality education to the students  but how the authorities  at the helm of affairs  use the teacher  is a matter of concern.  The teacher is used as a multipurpose electronic device to perform a variety of functions and too without an incentive.
The teachers are generally   diverted to conduct the various assignments  like census,  village level works, awareness  rallies,  management  of mid day meals, etc.  Only mid day meals is sufficient to divert   the  attention of a teacher from his actual work i.e teaching. Every day  mid  day  meal is supplied  to an average  of forty  students  per  school.  Most  of the time of the teachers is wasted  in arrangement of ration,  water and LPG  which is adversely affecting the  career  of the students.  All these assignments have also degraded the dignity  of  a teacher.  The teacher feels like a home servant of a big private boss.
The teachers  are   also engaged  in distributing  medicines to the students.  These  medicines are  supplied  to  all  the Govt. Schools  to  improve  the health  of  the  students  but instead  of  improvement  of health  of the students,  the   condition  has  worsened  in  several  cases.  As  reported  by some leading news  papers,  these  medicines have  adversely  affected the students .  Last  week  some students of  Govt.  Schools  turned  serious due  to these  medicines  and  the  charges  were  straightway  labelled against  the teachers .
The teachers  are  meant  to  teach  and  improve  the academic  ability  of the students.  They  must  never  be  engaged  in  distribution  of  medicines  to  the  students  and  the  people  as teachers  are  not  trained  for  this  purpose  as  it is  the  duty  of  the  health  and  medical  department.  By  taking  such  assignments,  teachers  feel  socially low  and  ashamed off.  So,  teachers  must  only  be engaged  in  raising  the academic  standards  of  the students  so that  they  may not feel   helpless  and  hapless .  As quoted  by  Maharishi Vyas  in Mahabharat-” Disrespect  to  the  teachers  leads  to  the  disaster  of a Nation.”
Yours etc…..
