Rayagada student suicide Jan 2025
The recent suicide of Babloo Karkaria, a tribal student from SSD School in Goti Guda on January 13, has raised concerns about the safety and management of residential welfare schools. This marks the fourth student death in recent months. Tensions escalated when a teacher, Tripati Hikaka, was assaulted by a mob, though he chose not to file a complaint. A viral audio clip of the incident has sparked further controversy, and many are questioning the District Welfare Officer's (DWO) failure to act. Community leaders are calling for reforms, including trauma care centers, trained counselors, and improved communication between students, parents, and staff. Locals have demanded an investigation into both Babloo's death and the allegations against Hikaka.
