Beed Primary School Headmaster Booked for Alleged Student Enrolment Manipulation
The headmaster of Champawati primary school in Beed, Sarang Joshi, was booked for allegedly manipulating student enrolment figures for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years.

An education department inspection found 295 instances of manipulation, including three students from Uttarakhand. Joshi was suspended on October 12, and further investigation is ongoing.
