Teacher who are supposed to teach the definitions of good and bad has gone a way long in strange manner . A teacher in Chhattisgarh has a different way of teaching for government-run primary school children where D for ‘dog’ and P for ‘pig’ is replaced with D is for ‘Daaru’ (alcohol) and P is for ‘Piyo’ (drink).

Shivbaran, a teacher at government primary school at Murma Pandopara, about 12 km from Korea district headquarter of Baikunthpur, was filmed by some local journalists on Friday allegedly teaching children D for ‘ daru’ and P for ‘piyo’ and asking students to repeat the words many times over.He even confesses on camera that he was drunk at the time, and had come to school drunk on many occasions earlier.When questioned about his style of teaching, Shivbaran said brazenly, “I also teach them according to syllabus.”
He, however, later apologised for being drunk. “No I have given up drinking long ago. I admit my mistake I will never come drunk to school and teach students,” he said.When contacted Korea district collector Sanjev Jha said that soon after getting to know about the incident he had instructed the cluster academic coordinator and the block resource coordinator to investigate the matter.
Preliminary reports that he has received mention that there are two teachers at Mumra Pandopara government primary school. One is Shivbaran and the other is Ramdass. There have been complaints against Ramdas in the past with regard to being absent and irregular, said Jha, adding that so fat Shivbaran’s record has been good.

In the meanwhile, district education officer Kamayani Kashyap is also expected to visit the said school on Monday and investigate the matter further, added Jha.
