		Welfare Teachers' Meet 2 photos		The Koraput district chapter of All Orissa Welfare Teachers & Inspecting Officers’ Association (AOWT&IO) has said it will lock up school hostels from April 1 if the Government does not appoint hostel wardens for their schools. At a meeting held at Jagannath temple on Sunday, Kailash Chandra Bramha, president of the district chapter of the association said teachers were facing continuous humiliation from officials and public after the recent vigilance raid conducted in the District Welfare Office at Koraput where the DWO was caught with handsome amount of money in his table drawer . Following the incident, the State Government also in its recent letters had directed the teachers to take the signature of the students after each meal given in the school hostel. Reacting to this, the association alleged that the teachers would have no time to teach in the class room spending hours to take the signature of hundreds of students . Further the move by the Government to ask the headmasters to open school passbooks with a joint account with the Welfare Extension Officers (WEO) of the blocks was also a case of lost faith in the integrity of the headmasters, Mr.Bramha said.Letters of support The association in a memorandum submitted to the district Collector asked the Government to appoint superintendents for the school hostels before the beginning of the new academic year in April. They said it was doen similarly between 1952 and 1971 in the State. The teachers were interested to teach lessons to the students rather than managing the hostels, he added. More than 200 teachers from the district have submitted their letters of support to the initiative taken up by the association.

		Woman With Tumor 3 photos		“It’s difficult to bear the pain anymore” , Pratima Kirsani , a 70 year old widow from Kularsing in Nandapur block of Koraput district , who is suffering from the pains of carrying a swollen belly with suspected tumour for the last ten years said . She had not received any attention from the medical authorities despite of the fact that her village has an ANM center and been visited by Medical Health Units(MHU) many a times , Krushna Kirsani, her only son said . It was a small boil on her belly some ten years back which had grown to a big sac like belly over the years with virtually no treatment been given to her , except the little attention that was given from a traditional practitioner in the initial years of illness . But with no cure and relief from the pain , she had stopped taking any treatment since then , Sriram Khilo, a villager said . While there was no hope from the traditional treatment on the one side and ignorance of the villagers on the health facilities that were offered by the government to the poor in KBK districts on the other side , she had lost all the hopes of getting any treatment for the wound, Sulochana Pangi , her relative from the neighbouring village said . The fear of being asked to spend a huge amount in the government hospital at the nearby Nandapur hospital , she had never thought of visiting the hospital and now it’s difficult to see her rolling on the floor screaming with pain from time to time all these years, she added.
