Education officials have clarified that a video showing students dancing on a stage, which went viral on social media, was part of a farewell function at the Neelakanthapuram Tribal Ashram School in Parvathipuram Manyam district and did not involve any outside women, as claimed online. The video, which circulated widely on social media platforms, led to allegations that women from outside the school had participated in a dance programme at the tribal school. However, deputy director of tribal welfare Vijay Shaanti dismissed these claims.
