The Principal has reported this matter to the Chief of the Korwadi Panchayat and the District Education Officer. The Principal informed that for long the Muslim community had been pressurising him to change the school rules. Some time back they changed the pattern of our prayer. Earlier we were saying, ‘Dayakadan Vidyaka….’, now we are made to say, ‘Tuhi Ram tuhi Rahim …..’.
