Sub.:Peaceful Protest Demonstration by group of parents and volunteers of Gyan Lakshay (NGO) whole day in front of the Deputy Director of Education (West) office on Monday 23 July 2012 at 10.00 a.m. for the well-being of baby Bhumika.

Dear Sir/Madam,

By this letter, we bring to your urgent notice another shocking instance of high-handedness and illegality on the part of the management of S.S. Mota Singh Sr. Sec. School, Guru Harkishan Nagar, New Delhi-110087 in which a Class VI D, student, baby Bhumika D/o JAI BHAGWAN (Mobile: 9811662031) and belonging to the Scheduled Caste category (Khatik) removed from school from 09.07.2012 because his poor parents were unable to deposit school fees. Meanwhile, Delhi government has several times announced that socially disadvantaged groups Girls will be given preference in education under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

However, S.S. Mota Singh Sr. Sec. School, at Guru Harkishan Nagar, New Delhi-110087 was 4.25 Acre land allotted Rs. 48,68,751/- by the Government on concessional rates.

The aforesaid action on the part of the school is totally illegal, unjust, arbitrary and unconstitutional, contrary to the provision of Delhi school Education Act, 1973.

The parent has several times approached to the Deputy Director of Education (West), but unfortunately, the Deputy Director of Education has also not done anything in this matter.

It needs to be mentioned that S.S. Mota Singh Sr. Sec. School is one of the many schools in Delhi which have been provided government land at concessional rate on the condition that they will provide free education to the Economically Weaker Sections.

We have right to know under Right to Information Act following questions.

Do they respect the Constitution of India?

Do they respect the Constitutional Basic, Fundamental child Rights?

Do they consider themselves above The Constitution of India?

It is very transparent and clean violation of constitutional child rights guaranteed by Constitution of India. It is just creating terrible nuisance to the girl student Bhumika.

Now, If immediate action is not taken against the above school by the Directorate of Education then we will be left with no option but to hold a peaceful Protest Demonstration by group of parents and volunteers of Gyan Lakshay (NGO) whole day in front of your office on Monday 23 July 2012 at 10.00 a.m. for the well-being of baby Bhumika.

It is, therefore, requested that you may please intervene in this matter on urgent basis and direct the principal/management of S.S. Mota Singh Sr. Sec. School, Guru Harkishan Nagar, New Delhi-110087 to allow her continue class forthwith so that the whole year of the girl student should not be wasted.

Thanking you,

Sincerely

(Secretary)
Gyan Lakshay (NGO)
