600 people's ages wrongly stated in MP schools to up numbers
Madhya Pradesh police has found nearly 600 people were listed as "school dropouts" and had their ages fudged in district education department records, allegedly to increase enrolment numbers in schools. The matter came to light when the police launched an initiative to encourage government school dropouts to study again. Notably, a 40-year-old woman was listed as a 13-year-old school dropout.
