Social Jurist writes to Delhi CM

To,

Hon’ble Chief Minister

Government of N.C.T.Delhi

Delhi Secretariat, I.P. Estate , New Delhi-110003

30.04.2015

Subject:-  Illegal denial of admission to three children Kumari Anjum, age 16 years, Km. Tarannum, age 14 years,  and Km. Saba, age  13 years, all daughter of Mohd. Daraj presently residing at Plot No. 384, Block-E, Khasra No. 297, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi-110096 by Government Co-Ed Senior Secondary School , Vasundhara Enclave, Delhi-110096

Sir,

It is to bring to your kind notice the plight of three girls  Kumari Anjum, age 16 years, Km. Tarannum, age 14 years,  and Km. Saba, age  13 years, all daughter of Mohd. Daraj presently residing at Plot No. 384, Block-E, Khasra No. 297, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi-110096, who have been illegally and arbitrarily denied admission by Government Co-Ed Senior Secondary School, Vasundhara Enclave, Delhi-110096.

The said three children were earlier studying in D.S.R. Modern School  in Noida, Gautam Budh Nagar which a recognized school. The father of the said three children had to shift to the aforesaid address of New Ashok Nagar with entire family on rent because of financial and employment problems. He was also not able to pay the hiked fee of the said private recognized school.

The father of the children therefore withdrew the said three  children and got the transfer certificate from the said school. Thereafter the father of the children applied for admission of his three daughters Kumari Anjum, age 16 years, Km. Tarannum, age 14 years,  and Km. Saba, age  13 years in the Government Co-Ed Senior Secondary School , Vasundhara Enclave, Delhi-110096 in Class 9, Class 9 and class 6 respectively. It is submitted that the said school is a school nearby their place of residence. However the principal of the said school refused admission to the Km. Sabha without giving any reason. In respect of Km. Anjum and Km Tarnnum, the principal asked father of the said children to bring Address Proof, Voter I Card, Bank Account and Ration Card of the current address of New Ashok Nagar. Since the family has recently shifted to Delhi, it would not be possible to get the said documents immediately. The father of the children showed the rent agreement of the current address but the principal refused to recognize the same. It is submitted that the condition put by the principal to bring said documents for admission of  Km Anjum and Km Tarnnum in school while refusing the admission to Km. Sabha without citing any reason is illegal, unjustified and violate the right to the said three children to education  as guaranteed to them by the Art 21 and 21 –A of the Constitution of India and RTE Act, 2009.

The father of the said children also submitted the letter of Sh. Praveen Kumar, MLA and Parliamentary Secretary Govt. of Delhi, to the principal of the aforesaid school. However she paid no attention to it and ignored the same.

The approach of the school authorities is culpably negligent, arbitrary and shows that the authorities of the department are apathetic and insensible towards the rights of children. These kinds of cases are coming in routine manner where the children are denied admission on such arbitrary reasons. Some stern and reformatory actions and policy decision need to be taken by your government in this regard.

You are therefore requested to take immediate appropriate action in the matter to ensure that the aforesaid children are granted admission in the aforesaid school or any other school nearby their residence.

With regards,

Gaur expressed protest against PU proposal for 10-20% fee hike

Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 2:04 PM

In the recent past, Pb.University has increased 20% fee

Dharna at DC office Ludhiana against fee hike on 15 April 2014

Dr. Arun Kumar Grover 

Vice Chancellor

Panjab University

Chandigarh

Dear Sir

A news appeared recently in the newspapers that Punjab University proposes 10-20% hike in fee for their 188 affiliated colleges within the State of Punjab and Chandigarh from the session 2014-15.

I came to know from reliable sources that a meeting of the Fee Hike Committee was held 2-3 days back and the Committee has recommended 10-20% fee hike (flat) for all the students studying in B.A., B.Com., B.Sc., M.A., M.Com., M.Sc. The Fee Hike Committee constituted by the University comprises 80% members of College Principals in which members from other segments were not included. I strongly lodge my protest against the constitution of the Committee in which representation from all the segments has not been given properly, that is why this hike in fee is recommended. In the recent past, Punjab University has increased 20% fee for the students studying in Punjab University Campus. A widespread agitation was launched by the students of the University Campus against this fee hike. The atmosphere of the University was not good and comfortable on those days. The issue of Fee hike was bought in the Senate Meeting. It was withdrawn after long deliberations in the Senate Meeting. It was also decided that the Committee will be constituted which includes members from the senate also. 

I, as a Senate member, strongly oppose the idea of fee hike in the colleges affiliated to the Punjab University as it is on the very high side. Most of the people residing in Punjab want to provide higher education to their children. They drop the idea of providing higher education to their children as they fail to afford to pay their fee. On the other hand, University proposes hike in fee on the very high side. I, therefore, request you to please not to consider the recommendations of the Fee Hike Committee and also not to bring this proposal in the Syndicate and Senate Meeting. Before this, the constitution of another Committee for the fee hike with the participation of other segments also is requested. This decision will create an unrest among the students as well as their parents being injustice to them depriving their right of being highly educated. 

Yours faithfully
