A Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya student here has been asked to look after five trees on the campus for three months as a punishment for beating up and injuring a classmate, officials said Monday.
The JNV-Dholpur school committee had recommended that the Class 9 student be ousted from the school and be issued a transfer certificate (TC) for the January incident, but district collector Neha Giri did not approve of it.
School principal K S Bghel said, "The school committee had recommended to issue transfer certificate (TC) to the student for his act. It was forwarded to the district collector sometime back for approval but she gave him a chance. She gave him the responsibility to look after five trees on the school campus for three months."
