Burdened with heavy school bags, two seventh grade boys held a press conference to highlight the plight of students who carry a load of 5—7 kg daily to attend classes.
Media persons at the local Press Club were taken aback on Monday when the duo from local Vidya Niketan School, walked in and expressed their desire to hold a conference on the daily hardships they face due to the burdensome bags.
“We carry a minimum of 16 books for 8 subjects daily and sometimes their number increases to 18 or 20, depending upon the subjects for which the classes would be held for the day. Our school bags weigh between 5 and 7 kg and its exhausting to carry them to our classroom located on the third floor,” the boys, aged around 12 years, told reporters here.
As per the directives of Bombay High Court, the Maharashtra government had earlier this year issued a circular issuing guidelines on reduction of weight of school bags on the recommendations of a committee.
The state had informed the High Court that it had also fixed the responsibility on principals and school management to follow the circular and would take action against those not obeying this rule.
To a query, whether the students were aware about the circular, they replied in negative.
