State school in Odisha has been questioned after a tenth grade student delivered a baby in the hostel.
In Malkangiri, a small district in the state of Odisha, a shocking incident has sparked an inquiry. According to the police, a high school student gave birth to a baby girl at the hostel of a state-run residential school. The incident took place on Monday, right after the girl had returned to the hostel after appearing for her board examination.

The school's headmaster, who works under the ST & SC Development, Minorities & Backward Class Welfare Department, expressed his concern over the matter. He stated that the hostel has strict rules against male visitors, and they are not sure how the girl got pregnant. He also mentioned that the hostel's health workers are responsible for conducting weekly check-ups on all the students, and this unfortunate incident shows that the health worker failed to do their job.

As soon as the incident came to light, the girl and her newborn were immediately taken to the sub-divisional hospital at Chitrakonda, and later transferred to the district headquarters hospital in Malkangiri. Officials confirmed that both the baby and the mother were in stable condition.

The girl's parents were left in shock and demanded answers from the school authorities as to how the pregnancy remained hidden until she went into labor. The District Welfare Officer, Srinivas Acharya, suggested that the girl might have gotten pregnant during her vacation at home. He also assured that a departmental inquiry has already been initiated and that the police have detained a man suspected of being the father of the child.

This incident has caused an uproar in the community and has raised questions about the safety and well-being of students living in hostels. The authorities have promised to take strict actions and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. It is a reminder for all of us to be more vigilant and responsible towards the safety and health of our children. The investigation is ongoing, and more details are yet to be revealed.
