Deaf and mute students in Jaipur stage a protest over conditions at their school, prompting action by authorities. Students and families cite multiple long-pending problems, including the deteriorating state of the school building and inadequate infrastructure and educational facilities. They also raise concerns about day-to-day services, including food. In addition, students allege that the school lacks enough trained teachers who are proficient in Indian Sign Language.
Following the protest, the school principal is suspended over alleged mismanagement. Both reports describe the students’ demands as focused on improving staffing, accessibility and the overall learning environment, citing shortages of trained teachers and insufficient support for students who rely on sign language. The protest remains centered on remediation of infrastructure, staffing and basic services at the institution, with the suspension indicating that officials are responding to the complaints raised by students.
