Subject: Parents unable to pay fees-
Dear Sir,
We have the honour to bring to your notice that since the parents Mohd. Atiullah & Ms. Julekha Khatoon r/o C-45, Sanjay Enclave,uttam Nagar, New Delhi, M- 9891625099) couldn’t pay school fees for their four children namely (i).Master Akib class IX ,(ii) Master Sakib class VIII, (iii) Kumari Nahid class V and(iv) Kumari Nasreen class IV , the management of Sanjeevani Public School, S-Block, Param Puri, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi 110059 has denied them to attend classes since September 2010. It is a sad story. The said unaided recognized private school is so much greedy that it resorted to harassment & humiliation not only to the parents but also to these young kids with a view to force parents to pay the school fees knowing well that the parents are unable to pay the same. The school is just interested in making money and nothing else.
All these students have been studying in the school since class nursery. Their father is an ordinary Tailor and is not having good & regular income. During the academic year 2008-2009, the financial condition of their father drastically gone down resulting in non-deposit of full fees of his wards. Interestingly, realizing the fact that he would not be able to afford school fees for his kids anymore , he requested the school to issue T.Cs so to enable him to get them admitted in govt. school but the school declined to issue T.Cs and insisted for clearance of full fees first. As the parents expressed their inability to pay school fee, the school withheld the report cards of these students.
Somehow, all the students were promoted to the next classes in the academic year 2009-2010. The parents during the year 2009-2010 could only pay a total sum of Rs 10,000/- (Rs 4000 on 17/09/2009, Rs 4000 on 25/02/2010 & Rs 2000/- on 17/07/2010) against the demand of nearly Rs 60,000/-. These students were not allowed to attend classes from 01/11/2009 to 25/02/2010 at all. However, on payment of a sum of Rs 4000/- by the parents under duress on 25/02/2010, the students were allowed to appear in the annual examinations held in March 2010. All these students qualified the annual examinations and were promoted to next classes. Out of these students, the school management withheld annual report card of master Akib to compel the parents to make outstanding amount. Again the school declined to issue T.Cs & insisted for clearance of entire dues as a condition for issuance of T.Cs.
The misery doesn’t end here. The students after they were promoted started attending their classes for next session from 01/04/2010. It is submitted that between 25/04/2010 and September 2010 all these students were several times humiliated & unceremoniously send back to their home and were not allowed to attend classes. Several times these students were called from their classes, humiliated & forced to stand even for 2-3 periods continuously and then they were asked to go their home. It has caused very severe mental trauma to these students. It is submitted after these students appeared in the Ist –term- examinations held in September 2010, they were not at all allowed to attend the classes and since then all the students are sitting idle at their home. Despite parents approaching the school several times requesting them either to allow the students to attend the classes or issue them T.Cs , the school neither allowed the students to continue to attend the classes nor T.Cs were issued.
The aforesaid action on the part of school is totally unethical, arbitrary, violative of right to education, anti-child and has caused severe mental trauma to these students. The school was not at all justified in refusing students to attend the classes. The school was also not justified in refusing T.Cs merely because the parents were unable to deposit fees as demanded by the school.
That due to aforesaid arbitrary action on the part of the school, all these students have already suffered loss of academics besides undergoing mental agony, harassment , humiliation & trauma. In case, these students are not allowed to take annual examinations, their whole year would be spoiled. It is submitted that all these students are entitled to take the annual examinations.
It is, therefore, requested that you may please intervene in this matter on urgent basis and direct the principal/management of Sanjeevani Public Schoool, S-Block, Param Puri, Uttam Nagar,
With Regards

THE EDUCATION IS GOING VERY COSTLY COMPARE TO THE INCOME OF THE PARENTS.

Education in India is a business now.
Minting Money by sacrificing careers of students, These "slaughter Houses" resort to coercion, pressure tactics,unethical means, Illegal tactics to fleece the parents of their hard earned Money.
These business houses, called 'schools', even flout all well laid norms and rules by the Directorate of Education for Area, Ground, Class room size, Seating capacity, Minimum Teacher Qualification, Laboratory equipments and minimum quota for the under privileged Students.
It's high time a movement is started in an organized way (based on Anna Hazare's Corruption Movement)to force these Issues into limelight and help save the countries Future.
No, its wrong. Sanjeevani Public School is the best school in its area with a very reasonable fee structure. Much better than the other schools of its area like Kamal Public School and Gagan Bharti Sr. Sec. School. The teachers and management is very dedicated and hardworking. My son was very poor in studies but after admitting him in Sanjeevani Public school, uttam nagar, Now he has completely changed and has become very serious and dedicated towards the studies. I request all of you to not to see just one side of the coin.
I am completely agree with Manoj thapar ji. Sanjivani Public school is the exception.
adv. aggarwal. it is because of advocates like you, good and dedicated schools like sanjeevani public school come in bad light. you only listen to one side of the coin. u didnot check with the school. did u? my ward studies in sanjeevani. we had the same problem. the school fully cooperated. it is the best school in the area. for your own publicity plz dont use a good school as a bait!!!!
The school you are talking about here advocate ji is one of the best schools of that particular area. Much better than kamal, gagan, spring meadows, Etc. pehle sachai ko dekho aur jaano phir bolo.
