Sub: Representation regarding gross injustice to Lakshita Singh, a candidate for admission to EWS Nursery in Richmond Global School by adopting deliberate and illegal means.

2. Violation of the provisions of “The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 & DSE Act-1973.”

Respected Sir/Madam,

We are the parents of single daughter Lakshita Singh, our family lives in J.J. Colony Jawala Puri, Delhi and belong to SC (Raiger) category, who is a candidate for admission to the EWS Nursery in above school. We bring to your kind notice, the following few facts for immediate and necessary action:

That for our daughter, Lakshita Singh, born on the 23rd of November,2006. We are trying to admission in Richmond Global School of neighborhood this year 20011- 12 sessions & getting a EWS nursery admission form from the school’s security guard & applied through the proper process of above school for admission in EWS Nursery. We had completed all the mandatory formalities as per the admission guidelines, but the above school was neither the acknowledgements were not given to us nor were they informed about the date of draw.

We come to know through our friends that the Richmond Global School ‘s draw of lots on 07/02/2011, then we reached the above school and we were surprised to see that the school gates were closed & parents were not allowed to enter the school, we request to gate-man for open the gate, gateman ignore our request, we are just fighting for our right so then we call the Police Control Room, on phone informed to Smt. Shukla Malhotra (9818335215) DDE (West-B), & Press Media against violation of RTE-2009 & DSE Act 1973. If they were nothing to hide, why the school gates closed & stopped the parents on draw time? It is serious violation of RTE-2009 & DSE Act 1973.

After some time came the local Police then gatekeeper open the gate and parents enter the school premise on draw spot, but present parents shocked then the staff there put the chits in a box on their own without showing them to parents. The chits were then drawn from the box by them. Who knows if the chit with their child's name was even put in or not? During draw some children’s name become twice & three times, parents oppose this bungling then management says “SORRY”. Although a large number of Parents required checking his ward’s name in draw box, but school management ignored the Parents demand. If they were nothing to hide, why not show the child name chit? Result was very unfair. This is purely a violation of rules.

Thereafter NDTV reporter Ms Aanchal Vohra came to on the spot but school management deny meeting her. We tried to meet the school principal, we was not allowed to do so by the staff. . After getting no response from the school authorities, all Parents lodge the FIR in Police Station Miyanwali Nagar, against Richmond Global Public School, Miyanwali Nagar,Rohtak Road, New Delhi-87, & our written complaint through Gyan Lakshay NGO submitted to DDE (West-B), Vikash Puri, against serious violation of their Right to Education.

It is clear from the above-mentioned facts and circumstances that the EWS student’s parents are being harassed /exploited by the above school & writing down everything here is not possible. It is serious violation of RTE-2009 & DSE Act 1973.

Therefore, we request you to kindly investigation by fair and independent agency & look into the matter seriously, and take the proper action on these culprit officers.

Thanking You.
