What happened

Authorities in Bahraich discovered that thousands of textbooks meant for underprivileged students in Class 1-8 had successfully 'graduated' directly to a scrap shop. Instead of the classrooms, the books were found at a local 'Kabadiwala,' proving that the administration believes the weight of knowledge is best measured in rupees per kilo. It’s a revolutionary pedagogical shift: why read a book when you can sell it and buy snacks instead?
