Parents living in Indalganj, Sitapur say that they are afraid to send their children to a new school. The area is forested and in 2017, animals had mauled a child to death here. They said that even if their children's studies get affected, they will not compromise on their safety.

There is a lot of politics going on in UP on the decision of school merger. Where the schools have been merged, SP leaders are organizing PDA Pathshala. If we talk about Sitapur, here a different kind of education is being done in SP's PDA Pathshala.

SP Chhatra Sabha president Shivam Singh is imparting SP education in these schools. He is teaching the children that "Eat pomegranate with A every day and bring Akhilesh Yadav back." After the video went viral, the district administration took action and detained him. However, he was later released on personal bond.
