School safety concerns rise in India following violent incidents

Recent violent incidents in Indian schools have raised significant concerns regarding student safety and campus security. In the Anantapur district of Raptadu, a 21-year-old man allegedly entered a government school with a power saw and attacked a Class 10 student, injuring another student who attempted to intervene.

In Haryana, a six-year-old girl was reportedly attacked by an eight-year-old student on school premises. These events have prompted calls for the government to conduct security audits, improve visitor verification processes, and appoint dedicated security personnel. Experts suggest that while CCTV is useful, schools require more robust emergency response systems and mental health support to address rising violence and social media influence on young minds.
