Explain spelling mistakes: Smriti Irani to CBSE
by Seva Lamberdar Fri Aug 21, 2015 9:10 am
NEW DELHI: Union HRD minister Smriti Irani on Friday sought an explanation from CBSE over the spelling mistakes in a congratulatory letter send on her behalf to a school teacher for the good results in the board exams.
The letter sent by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) went viral soon after the teacher — Richa Kumar of DPS Bhilai — posted it in social media, prompting instant reactions from cross sections of the society.
The minister's name is spelled incorrectly in Hindi as well as "minister" (spelled as 'minster' in English) and "sansadhan (in Hindi)".
"I have sought an explanation from CBSE as there was spelling mistakes in some of the letters," she told reporters.
CBSE has apologized for the mistake.
Stung by the errors, she also tweeted "would not misspell my own name in Hindi. Have asked concerned organisation to give an explanation".
Congratulatory letters are sent by the HRD minister every year to the top performers of CBSE board examinations as well as to teachers.
"Thank you for congratulating me on the excellence I exemplify. However, having been a teacher for the last twenty years, your official letter head is an affront to my sensibilities as a language teacher.
The attached photographs are self explanatory. Please ensure that at least the people who work for you, in your ministry, are well educated," Kumar said in her Facebook posting.
