New Sun Beam Public School Hardoi Viral Video: School is often considered the first step towards the future of children, but when questions are raised on the respect of parents, then the matter becomes not just about education but about the system. A similar case has come to light from Hardoi district of Uttar Pradesh, where the principal of a private school has been accused of indecency and threatening a parent.
In a video viral on social media, the school principal is heard repeatedly saying “You shut up” to a female parent. It is alleged that this dispute happened only because the parent had purchased copy-books from outside the school. Now this case has sparked a new debate in the district regarding the education system, the arbitrariness of private schools and the rights of parents.
What is the whole matter?
New Sun Beam Public School, located near SP Tirahe in Hardoi city, is currently at the center of controversy. The daughter of victim parent Neelam Verma is a UKG student in this school.

Said ‘you shut up’ several times in a minute
The most discussed part is the part in which the principal is seen saying “You shut up” several times within about a minute. The victim’s parents allege that they were publicly humiliated and even threatened to expel their daughter from school. After this video surfaced, people’s anger has increased rapidly on social media. Many people have called this an example of dictatorship of private schools.
Appealed for justice to DM
Neelam Verma has sought intervention from Hardoi District Magistrate Anunay Jha in the entire matter. He has appealed to the administration through social media to take strict action against the school management and principal. Parents say that private schools cannot act arbitrarily in the name of children’s education. If a parent buys a book from outside as per his convenience and budget, then this kind of treatment cannot be accepted.
People’s anger on social media
A large number of people are reacting to the viral video. Many users have called this behavior insulting and demanded action. A user named Ambuj Shukla wrote, “Being a parent has become a curse. Strict action should be taken against the principal who misbehaves with the parents.” Awadhesh Mishra wrote that the Minister of State for Higher Education of Uttar Pradesh should intervene and ensure strict action in this matter. People say that discipline is important in educational institutions, but respect is even more important.
Principal Mamta Mishra’s clarification also came to light
After the controversy escalated, school principal Mamta Mishra has also given her clarification. He said that the parents were pressurizing them to reduce the fees and were repeatedly coming between them and the students in the school. According to her, the guardian took her time for about three hours, which made her angry. The principal says his intention was not to hurt anyone. He also claimed that the guardian had later apologized to him. However, after the viral video, different reactions are emerging among the people regarding this cleanliness.
Questions raised again on accountability of private schools
This issue is not limited to just one school or one principal. This points to the big question that has been present among parents for a long time, are private schools doing whatever they want in the name of books, uniforms and fees?
Parents say that schools should show sensitivity along with education. Respectful treatment of parents should be the primary responsibility of any institution. If the allegations are proven true, then this case is not only an indication of administrative action but also of the need for reform in the education system. At present, this video of Hardoi has become a topic of discussion in the entire state and everyone’s eyes are fixed on the next action of the administration.
