Teachers will not be given non-teaching duties like Census or data entry
“teachers will be made to teach students. They won't be allowed to carry out Census, data entry work”
The verdict
In April 2026 a teachers' federation reported that nearly 90% of census duties had gone to teachers, who also do BLO and health-card work. No order exempting teachers was found. Provisional low rating.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
