The case of an assistant teacher working in a Government Higher Primary School at Bategera (K) in Sedam taluk who allegedly forged school certificates of his two children to get them admitted in Navodaya School under the rural student quota has come to light now.
Sources in the Education Department said here on Thursday that Gangadhar Savalagi has been placed under suspension by the Deputy Director of Public Instruction K.G. Hanumanthappa with immediate effect pending an inquiry.
Sources said that although Mr. Savalagi’s two children. Shashank Gowda and Bhagyalakshmi, were educated in a private school in Sedam town, the teacher had allegedly forged the study and transfer certificates to show that his son had studied in the Government Higher Primary School at Bibballi village and his daughter from the Government Higher Primary School at Betegera B.
