The report also stated that Ramesh Singh abused his power and approved false appointments, causing huge economic losses to the government finances. In the process, they approved the appointments of these teachers and employees without following any valid documents or correct procedures.

Ramesh Singh was transferred from Ballia to Mau district in June this year. However, the investigation was initiated due to irregularities committed during his tenure in Ballia. After an investigation by the Joint Director of Education, Azamgarh, Ramesh Singh was disciplined and suspended.

Actions taken by the department following investigation

The department has previously investigated and suspended cases of this nature. The case also raises questions about the department’s operations and transparency.

The education department is currently investigating the matter. More officials or employees may be investigated in the future. The state government has taken this incident seriously.

After the suspension of Ramesh Singh, new district school inspectors will now be deployed in Mau and Ballia districts and other employees and officials of the education department will be kept under strict surveillance so that such cases of illegal payment of wages do not occur and can be done as soon as possible.
