Nagpur Teachers’ Census Nightmare #PrivateSchoolsRevolt
Exams Pile Up, But NMC Demands Census Duty Now
Nagpur Teachers’ Census Nightmare #PrivateSchoolsRevolt. School associations and teacher unions in Nagpur are protesting the Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s (NMC) directive to deploy private unaided school teachers for Census 2026-27 duties, questioning why thousands of government teachers aren’t prioritized first. NMC has issued FIRs against non-compliant staff, including a CBSE school headmistress, under the Census Act, 1948, and IPC Section 187.
#PrivateSchoolsRevolt the intense frustration of private school teachers in Nagpur as they protest against being assigned mandatory Census duty while balancing their regular teaching responsibilities and exam schedules.
Unequal Burden Sparks Outrage
Private unaided schools argue their staff, unlike government employees, receive no grants or salaries from the state, making forced deployment unfair.
Leaders like Rajabhau Taksale of the Unaided Schools Welfare Association highlight that government teachers earn hefty salaries yet face lower enrollment and should handle duties first.
They demand exhausting options from government schools, aided institutions, and departments before targeting self-financed private schools.

Overloaded with Academic Work
Teachers are already swamped with internal exams, board evaluations, paper checking, and new sessions for Classes 9 and 10, leaving no room for non-academic tasks.
Sanjay Tayde-Patil, president of Maharashtra English State Trustees Association, warns of street protests if police actions continue, as some teachers threaten to quit mid-session. SC Kedia of Unaided Schools Forum insists teachers must focus solely on academics during this peak period.
Planned Legal and Street Action
Associations plan writ petitions in the high court to challenge the orders and limit duties to government staff.
They propose roping in private firm employees if manpower shortages persist, drawing parallels to the selective targeting of educators.
This standoff risks disrupting education in Nagpur’s private schools amid ongoing census needs.
