Menstruating dalit student news: A shocking incident has come to light at a private school in Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu. Here a student of eighth was forced to take the exam by allegedly sitting outside the classroom due to her menstruation. The incident occurred at a school located in Senguttaipalam near Polachi. In a video recorded by the girl’s mother, it was shown that the girl was sitting on the stairs outside the class to take the exam. This video went viral on social media, after which the authorities started the investigation.
According to sources, the student had two exams this week. During the examination, his parents demanded a separate desk to relax him keeping in mind his menstrual state. Despite this, on Monday, the girl was forced to sit on the floor outside the class. On Wednesday, when the girl came to school for the second exam, her parents found her sitting outside the class again.
Explanation sought from school management

Palanisamy confirmed that the Chief Educational Officer was investigating the incident. He said, “Explanation has been sought from the school management and appropriate action will be taken after receiving the report.”
Sitting on the hard surface
Assistant Superintendent of Police Srishti Singh started the investigation on Thursday. He said that on the evening of April 6, the girl’s mother had approached the class teacher and requested the arrangement of special seats, but she was asked to talk to the principal. The next day on 7 April, while leaving her daughter school, the mother met the principal and requested a separate seating arrangement to prevent the risk of infection. After the mother left, the student was seated outside the class. That evening the girl caused leg pain due to sitting on the hard surface, due to which she was upset. The next day she did not go to school, but the same situation came to light again when she came back to school on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the correspondent of the school has suspended the principal under Section 17 of the Right to Education Act, 2009. This section stops the incidents of harassing children physically or mentally.
