Teachers at Ganesh Nagar BMC school in Kandivli don't know how to count. That's the impression that has been created based on the response given to an RTI application by the principal, who has been accused of using students as labourers.

The principal's response states the school had sent three teachers, two peons, another staffer and a labourer to bring more benches for their classrooms, and the four children who had sent along were for "counting" the benches.
