- Eight-year old Pihu Tiwari runs a marathon every morning with nearly twelve kilos on her
back. At least that’s what her walk from the school gate to her second floor classroom feels
like. She does not just get tired but often pants her way up the stair case. She is thin and
weights twenty-nine kilograms. And everyday, she has to carry a bag which is almost half
her weight.
Pihu may be spared, as Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry recently proposed to
come up with a system in which chapters of a book can be segregated for every team making
the bags lighter. Schools are trying too. In all branches of Balbharti Public School, the weight
of bags is regularly monitored. The teachers weigh the bag regularly and a report is
submitted to the principal. After going through their reports, sensitization programmes are
held for parents and they are explained on what books are to be brought on a particular day.
Also a roaster has been devised to make sure homework for all subjects is not given on the
same day. Also children are allowed to leave their musical instruments, sports items,
drawing files etc. in the school.
Acknowledging that a majority of children aged below ten suffer from orthopaedic problems
because of heavy bags. Maharashtra recently fixed the responsibility of reducing bag weight
with the school principal. Also, the maximum weight to be carried by students of classes one
to eight has been fixed between 1.8 kg and 3.4 kg. G.D. Goenka’s School has devised a
strategy to reduce the weight of school bag. In this school homework is sent and submitted
online. In Springdales School, the students are divided into groups with each using one
textbook.
Some parents complain that schools often fail to provide individual lockers and force
children to carry books everyday. Also, school’s fascination with fancy books supplied by
private publishers also add to bag weight. Moreover, students often carry fancy bags and
steel bottles which add upto a kilo to their load.
