Investigation launched following allegations of racist slur use in rugby match between Fairmont High and The Settlers

Candidate woman Archana has started an indefinite hunger strike at the Jaispal Singh sports complex in Ranchi, protesting against rigging in the JPSC and JSSC examinations. She stated that despite eight years of preparation and passing four exams, each time it was discovered that the exams were compromised.

Archana recounted that as a girl who fought with her family for education, she carried a double responsibility. She prepared day and night since 2018, but her determination was undermined by the fact that after each of the four exams she passed, it turned out the exam had been sold.

According to Archana, her academic journey is as follows: she began basic preparation in 2018. During the COVID pandemic in 2021, she studied for 10 hours a day in one room at home. The first major blow came in 2024 when the first major exam fell victim to cheating and violations.

Despite this, Archana did not give up and passed four major exams in 2025: for the post of Forest Range Officer, Assistant Conservator of Forest, the 14th JPSC, and the JPSC Backlog exam. However, in each case, the situation repeated—information leaks, cheating, or some other violation.

Archana emphasized that girls study by accepting any conditions, and eight years is a significant period. But she questions the value of her work when the system itself is corrupt. She stated that since the government assumes girls will back down, she is starting a hunger strike, refusing food and water, and promises not to retreat until justice is achieved.

In Archana's view, girls make efforts, but their work becomes useless in a corrupt system. She intends to remain on strike until justice is served, and this movement has become the voice of thousands of struggling female students.

The district administrative body has taken serious measures against private educational institutions in Gautam Buddh Nagar due to arbitrary fee increases. At the meeting of the District Fee Regulation Commission, chaired by the District Magistrate, a fine of one hundred thousand rupees was imposed on each of the seven private schools that violated the rules of the Fee Regulation Act.

During the meeting, an inspection of the fee hike set by private schools for the academic year 2026-27 was conducted. It was found that six schools increased fees beyond the stipulated limit of 7.23 percent, while one school charged an additional annual fee in addition to the composite fee.

The commission reported that 45 notices had previously been issued to ensure compliance with the rules. Nevertheless, seven schools violated the Uttar Pradesh Private Self-Governing Independent Schools (Fee Regulation) Act of 2018.

Among the schools fined one hundred thousand rupees are APJ School, Sector-16, Noida; Sparsh Global School, Sector-20, Greater Noida West; Ramagya School, Sector-50, Noida; Vishwa Bharati School, Sector-28, Noida; Shri Chaitanya Techno School, Gaur City, Greater Noida; St. John's School, Sector-2, Greater Noida; and Bal Bharti Public School, Sector-21, Noida.

According to the administration, the fee increase for the academic year 2026-27 should not exceed 7.23 percent, and any increase above this limit is illegal. Furthermore, Bal Bharti Public School was fined one hundred thousand rupees for failing to upload the fee structure for the academic year 2025-26 to its website and for charging an additional annual fee beyond the composite fee. The district administration instructed all private schools to strictly adhere to the Fee Regulation Act.
