ALL INDIA PARENTS ASSOCIATION Aggarwal Bhawan, G. T. Karnal Road, Tis Hazari, Delhi -110054 To Prof. Ms. Kiran Walia Ji Hon’ble Education Minister Government of NCT of Delhi Delhi Secretariat I.P. Estate, New Delhi August 8, 2013 Subject: Talibana style of functioning of Admission Incharge at G.G.S.S. School No.2 Molarband, Badarpur denying admission in class VI to a girl student Anshu Singh Dear Madam This is to seek your intervention in the matter of admission of an underprivileged girl Anshu Singh (age 11yrs.) daughter of a watchman Sh. Kamal Dev Singh (M-9910904591) who passed her class Vth from B.S. Memorial Public School Roshan Nagar Agwanpur, Faridabad. Despite her case been recommended by the Dy. Director of Education (South) Defence Colony for admission in G.G.S.S. School No.2 Molarband and all the required papers been submitted by her father the Admission Incharge gave no firm answer and said “we will call you”. This School is around 1 ½ K.M. from the place of residence of the girl student. After the father made innumerous rounds of the school on 30-07 2013 the Principal of the school said the admissions are over and asked the father of the girl student to take back all the papers submitted by him. When the father refused to do so the Admission Incharge called the Guards of the school and asked them not to let the father leave the school premises until he takes back papers submitted for the admission of his daughter. Sh. Kamal Dev Singh had to call the PCR on 100 for his safety as the guards were about to manhandle him. After the intervention of the police he could leave the school premises although the police constable also pressurized him to take his papers back or otherwise they will be thrown in the dustbin. The above mentioned episode clearly reflects the Talibani mind set of the Admission Incharge and the total insensitivity of the school authorities towards the RTE of the poor children. Letter from the father of the girl, addressed to me, is attached herewith for your reference. It is submitted that this is a very unfortunate example that I am bringing to your notice. You are requested to personally intervene in the matter not only for the sake of this girls’ right to education but to ensure that this illegal practice of denial of admission to children on a routine-basis and high headedness of the officers of the school can be checked. With regards, Ashok Agarwal, Advocate National President, AIPA M: 9811101923
