Teacher ends life on Independence Day for not getting salary for 15 years
Nagpur, Aug 16 (UNI) A teacher in Maharashtra’s Gondia district committed suicide for being left without a salary for 15 years.
The victim was identified as Keshav Gobade, who was working for Adivasi Junior College, (Jhashinagar, Morgaon Arjuni, Gondia ) functioning without government grant or aid.
Under the stress and depression, he took extreme step and ended his life on Thursday by consuming poison, sources said.
According to sources, Gobade was living in the hope that he would get the grant soon. The teacher was worried as there was a little time left to impose the model code of conduct for the Assembly elections.
Moreover, due to financial constraints, his wife left him with his son six years ago.
His suicide has inflamed an anger among non-grant schoolteachers in the district towards the government, sources added.
