Right to safe drinking water; right to health; women; food security; corruption


SAMPLE LETTER:

Dear __________,

INDIA: Safe drinking water immediately required in a village in Orissa which had 8 deaths from diarrhea

Name of the affected village: Uparagadala village, Dasamantapur Block, Koraput district, Orissa state, India
Place of incident: Uparagadala village, Dasamantapur Block, Koraput district, Orissa state, India
Date of incident: since 2007

I am writing to you to express my deep concern about the villagers who face a lack of safe drinking water and may face death from water borne diseases such as diarrhea. In 2009 there were 8 deaths from diarrhea and  in 2010 6-7 villagers suffered from diarrhea. I am aware that several districts including Rayagada, Koraput, Nuapada, and Kalahandi have been facing diarrheal deaths every year. In 2010 in particular, the death toll was over 100 and those affected were more than 2,000.

Despite these distressing statistics, I am informed that the government has not taken the situation seriously. No long-term steps have been taken to prevent deaths in these areas. Instead, they merely provide emergency relief. I am of the opinion that the government should ensure safe drinking water and other basic facilities that can eventually prevent water-borne diseases. Uparagadala village, that I have learned about recently, is one of the examples of an area that the government has failed to ensure the right to health leading to death and disease every year.

I am informed that there are only two wells with hand-pumps for 180 households. The majority is made up of tribes and 15 Dalits families, Harizans also reside in the village. A couple of years ago, one hand-pump well was built near the tribal communities and another for other communities including Harizans.

I am shocked to learn that since early last year Harizans and others have been drinking water from a nearby river as they found the water from one of the wells was not drinkable. There is a strong iron smell to the water and it is visibly reddish-yellow in color. They discovered that the water got thick and more reddish after boiling. With no other recourse, they started using muddy river water for drinking. The women boil it sometimes but not always.

I am informed that 6-7 villagers suffered from diarrhea during the rainy season in 2010. Fortunately all of them were either taken to the emergency health camp set up for diarrhea or given medicines by an Auxiliary Nursing Midwife (ANM). I am further informed that the villagers have  lodged complaints about the unsafe drinking water facilities most recently in the Nodal meeting attended by Panchayat (elected village council) Executive Officer and seven Panchayat Raj members held in May and June. The administrative authority has responded that they would take care of the irregularities, but no actual steps have been taken as of today.

In addition, women in the village particularly have been deprived of their right to health. I have learned that Ms. Nilabhati Bagh belonging to the Harizan community went to the Community Health Centre (CHC) to give birth to her third baby a few years ago. When calling an ambulance, she was asked by the driver to pay INR 200 for the service. In CHC, she had to pay INR 200 to the doctor and 200 to the female health worker. For her fourth child, she was not encouraged to go to the CHC. She is not the only case in the village.

Another woman in her 30s, Suryo Takri, delivered her son at the CHC a year and half ago. She was also asked to pay INR 200 for an ambulance, INR 300 to the doctor, INR 100 to the female nurse, and INR 800 for medicines. Her entire health care subsidy of INR 1,400 was spent on bribes for the CHC staff members. And to make matters worse, she and her family members who looked after her in labor at the CHC had to take a public bus to return home after delivery on the same day. The ambulance driver refused to take her home saying that he had another patient to pick up. As it is clearly shown in these two cases, the cash subsidy that aims at encouraging rural women to deliver their babies in a safer institutional facility were spent on corrupt public servants.

It was also found that the Koraput district hospital does not provide ambulances for women from other districts. A woman, whose husband is from Uparagadala village, said that when she went to the Koraput district hospital for delivery, since her residence was in a neighboring district closer to the Koraput district hospital, she was not provided with an ambulance and also had to pay INR 1,000 for medicines.  

I am of the opinion that physical inaccessibility caused by lack of proper roads is a big obstacle for women seeking care in the public health institutions. The CHC is 12 kilometers away from the village and women find it difficult to go to the center during the rainy season as the road gets flooded. In addition, the ambulance fee and medicine cost is a corrupt practice that discourages women from giving birth in an institutional setting and contributing to increased child mortality. I have learned that on May 26, one tribal woman gave birth at home instead of going to the CHC. Her mother-in-law was aware that the driver would ask for ambulance fee and she would have to pay for medicines and others items. She thought her daughter-in-law would be able to deliver her baby at home without any complications. But after being in labor and delivering the baby some problems with the new baby surfaced and she immediately called for an ambulance at 11pm on that day. The driver did not come immediately but came in the early morning on the following day. Sadly, the new born baby died in the ambulance on the way to the CHC.

It is known that tribal women have been deprived of government public health facilities for generations. They try to keep their own traditional practices for labor and health care. They are usually hesitant to approach public health institutions because their services do not favor tribal women. Corrupt medical personnel, including doctors, furthermore take bribes from rural women and contribute to maintaining a high child-mortality rate.

I therefore, urge you to ensure the right to health of villagers, and women in particular. It is immediately required that safe drinking water and sanitation facilities be provided, as well as proper road connections to the village. Above all, in order to eradicate child and maternal mortality and morbidity, the corruption practiced by medical officials and other public servants should be stopped.

 The case narrated here is just one example of many. Therefore, I further urge the government authority to take steps to establish safe drinking water and other necessary facilities to prevent the water borne diseases over the four districts including Koraput. I am highly concerned that children could again be the hapless victims of governmental negligence this year as the rainy season approaches.  

I look forward to your prompt response and action.

Inhuman and degrading treatment; caste-based discrimination; violence; police negligence; right to food; child rights


Dear __________,
INDIA: Please investigate the discrimination against 'untouchable' Ahirwar in Madhya Pradesh despite Mid-Day-Meal and other welfare schemes by the government
Name of victims: Ahirwar community in Maregaon Village of Gadarwara Tehsil of Narsinghpur district, Madhya Pradesh
Alleged perpetrators: Lodhi community in Maregaon Village of Gadarwara Tehsil of Narsinghpur district, Madhya Pradesh
Date of incident: 2009 to present (since the consensus by Ahirwar Samaj Mahaparishad to abandon the practice of carrying the carcasses of dead animals)
Place of incident: Maregaon Village of Gadarwara Tehsil of Narsinghpur district, Madhya Pradesh
I am writing to express concern regarding caste-based discrimination and the denial of the right to food to the Ahirwar community of Maregaon Village, Gadarwara Tehsil of Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh by the Lodhi community residing in the same village despite attempts by the government to fight hunger and malnutrition in the region through welfare initiatives that would secure employment and food for the most marginalised segments of society.
Yuva Samvad, Nagrik Adhikar Manch and National Secular Forum conducted an investigation on 2 May 2012 in Maregaon Village of Gadarwara Tehsil of Narsinghpur district and uncovered the following details:
Maregoan Village has a population of approximately 2000 individuals. Out of these, 100 families are of the Ahirwar community. Dalits make up most of the agricultural labourers in this area, where Ahirwars (Chamars) compose a majority of the Dalits. The Ahirwar are classified as a Scheduled Caste in India. Ahirwar are spread across Gadarwara and in nearly all adjoining villages, playing an important role in the socioeconomic activities of the region. The Lodhi community in Maregaon village belong to Other Backward Classe (OBC) own farmland and generally hire Ahirwar to cultivate their fields.
Division of labour in the community has resulted in the imposition of certain menial and lowly occupations upon the Ahirwar. For centuries, the Ahirwar have been tasked to do "dirty" jobs such as carrying the carcasses of dead animals. Despite the necessity of such workers, and for forcing them to take up such jobs, the Ahirwar are seen as being tainted by death and greatly despised. The Ahirwar were made to live in a hamlet separated from the main village.
In 2009, the Ahirwar Samaj Mahaparishad built a consensus among the Ahirwar community to abandon the practice of carrying the carcasses dead animals and shake off the label of "untouchable" imposed by the dominant castes. This decision was first acted upon by three or four individuals and was soon claimed by other Ahirwar. In response, individuals from higher castes began a social and economic boycott against the Ahirwar. The Ahirwar were not permitted to pass through the village and were forced to take a longer route in order to travel to other villages. The Ahirwar were prohibited from taking rations from the local shopkeeper; even the local milk vendor was intimidated by the Lodhi into not selling milk to the Ahirwar. The Ahirwar were even more cruelly persecuted through the denial of water from the hand pump located near the village temple. Prior to their decision to abandon the practice of carrying the carcasses of dead animals, the Ahirwar were still permitted to use this hand pump because there had been two at the time and the villagers were not facing a shortage of water. Today, the Lodhi have fenced in and put wire around the temple and areas surrounding it – this includes the hand pump the Ahirwar depended on for their water. In addition to such mistreatment and deprivation, the Ahirwar were further prohibited from using water from a communal water tank. This tank was also fenced in with wire by the Lodhi. The Ahirwar's cattle were also not permitted to partake of water from the tank. The Ahirwar face a severe shortage of water at this present time.
Children of the lower castes are forced to clean the school while children from higher castes are not. The school also discriminates through seating arrangements in class. To exacerbate the situation, the cook engaged in cooking the Mid-Day-Meal in Maregaon Village is a Lodhi. Despite efforts by authorities to relieve malnutrition in the area by implementing a Mid-Day-Meal scheme, the Ahirwar children who most require the sustenance are discriminated against. They are served only leftovers, if there are any, and the food is given to them from a distance. The Ahirwar children are also forced to bring their own plates while other students from the dominant castes are served from plates provided by the school. The children from the Ahirwar community are also fed insufficient amounts of food and punished for asking for more. Instead of the social, economic and intellectual progress that might be expected in the world's largest democracy, Madhya Pradesh looks increasingly like Dickensian London. "Please, sir, I want some more" – will the authorities intervene before the Ahirwar children's cries die out, or will it participate in the silencing of such cries for help by refusing to?
Finally, the report exposes shockingly poor implementation of the Apex Court's orders concerning the Government Food, Employment and Welfare Schemes to prevent hunger and malnutrition among the people of Maregaon Village. Central to this failure has been the wrong identification of Below Poverty Line (BPL) families. Of the more than 100 Ahirwar families who conduct manual labour for a living, only 20-25 families have been issues the PBL card. Many live in terrible conditions and should also be included on the BPL list but have not been. Most Ahirwar are deprived of the benefits of the government scheme that targets BPL families. The Ahirwar have job cards but only two to three individuals have found employment under the NREGA scheme while the rest languish, unemployed and "unemployable" due to their caste affiliation. So far local officials have not acted to discipline such blatant acts of discrimination and assure the Ahirwar of protection against future abuses.
Although plans and efforts by the government to alleviate hunger and malnutrition are commendable, the government should also pursue the goal of correct implementation of such schemes. To foolproof the programme would be the only responsible thing to do, especially in light of the recent reports made against abuses in the system. While the government may not actively discriminate against the Ahirwar, to passively watch other actors do so – to refuse to act – is a betrayal of a common humanity; it means to be complicit in such acts of violence and inhuman, degrading treatment. This is unforgiveable for an administration powerful enough to carry out punitive actions against perpetrators and practically assist this neglected and long-oppressed segment of society.
Rights are not merely privileges; they are entitlements. And the Ahirwar have been robbed of these entitlements. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) laid out some guidelines concerning the protection of the protection of individuals' fundamental rights. By virtue of being human, the Ahirwar are, "without distinction", fully entitled to enjoy such rights and liberties as set forth in the Declaration, and the Indian state is expected to bear the responsibility of providing access to and protection of such rights (Article 2). Relevant to this case of discrimination are Articles 3, 4, 5, 23 and 25, which collectively assert that every human has a right to life, liberty and security of person, work, free choice of employment, just and favourable conditions of work, protection against unemployment, equal pay for equal work, just remuneration for an existence worthy of human dignity, a standard of living adequate for health and well-being, including food, housing, medical care, social services and security in the event of unemployment or lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. Children are entitled to special care and assistance. The Ahirwar also have rights against servitude and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
The 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which India ratified in 1979, reiterate such rights in Articles 6 (right to life, protected by law), 7 (right against cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment), 8 (right against servitude and forced or compulsory labour), 24 (right of the child to protection without discrimination), 26 (all persons are equal before the law and are entitled without discrimination to the equal protection of the law). The Indian state is bound by international law to upholding these rights.
India's own Constitution declaims discrimination on grounds of religion, race, sex, place of birth and caste. Article 15(2) (a) and (b) state that no citizen shall be denied access to the use of wells, tanks, bathing ghats, roads and public places dedicated to the use of the general public. Article 15(3) and (4) go further still to endorse affirmative action and promote special provisions for the most vulnerable sectors of Indian society: women, children, members of socially and educationally backward classes of citizens, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes. Article 16 stipulates "equality of opportunity in matters of public employment" and also permits positive discrimination to increase the participation and representation of the same vulnerable groups of individuals in the civil service but also prohibiting discrimination on the grounds already mentioned. Article 17 of the Indian Constitution crucially abolishes "untouchability", a most extreme form of discrimination wherein the lowest caste in society is deemed "unclean", shunned and ostracised. Article 17 is not only stating an ideal to be worked towards – it categorically and permanently criminalises such a practice. Yet this label continues to blight the lives of hundreds of thousands in India, and persist as reality for the Ahirwar in Madhya Pradesh. It is an impossible and soul-destroying reality that disgraces India. It is a reality that can and should be fought by the government's every last ounce of strength and willpower.
Entire paradigms must be radically altered for real and sustainable change. Man has to recognise above all things the equality and inherent dignity of fellow Man. Only by acknowledging a common humanity can we hope to evade the violence that proceeds from other exclusive and necessarily reductive identities (religious, ethnic, linguistic, gender, national, political affiliations). The residents of Maregaon Village can begin to mend the rifts in their commmunity's social fabric by permitting the Ahirwar occupations of their own choosing, by paying the Ahirwar for services rendered and by learning to dissociate the derogatory label of "untouchable" from menial but freely chosen jobs. Such critical re-evaluation of their beliefs would not only restore the dignity of the Ahirwar but serve the dominant class by freeing them to participate in free market systems, to have healthy and peaceable relationships with their neighbours. As with all social reform, this will take effort and time. Yet the state bears a more immediate obligation to its people, to the Ahirwar. The state must release the Ahirwar from their servitude, inhuman and degrading treatment, poor standards of living and oppression at the hands of the Lodhi. Without urgent intervention, the Ahirwar and their children face continued caste-based discrimination and an uncertain future.
The suffering of the Ahirwar must be quickly addressed. I therefore demand that:
1. Proper implementation of existing welfare schemes providing food and employment is ensured by officials through close monitoring of such activities at the level of the village;
2. Officials should send inspectors at regular intervals to monitor the discrimination faced by Ahirwar children in schools and during mid-day meals;
3. The Ahirwar should also be interviewed to determine how many are currently being coerced into taking up certain jobs or who are not being (fairly) paid;
4. The police who wield jurisdiction over the area exercise their authority and see to the removal of the fences and wires that separate the Ahirwar and their cattle from life-sustaining water;
5. Families living in squalid conditions and obviously below the poverty line be given their ration cards at the earliest possible moment;
6. The persons responsible for intimidating the milk and provision shop vendors, for erecting the fences and wires around the water pumps and tanks are immediately investigated, arrested and punished;
7. Adequate protection is provided for the Ahirwar against possible retaliatory attacks or boycotts from members of the dominant castes in the village and adequate fiscal compensation, food and water is provided that will enable the Ahirwar to regain their health and be able to resume work.
8. The Gadarwara district administration should ensure social boycotts of the Ahirwar are not repeated in the future through the introduction of long-term educational/publicity efforts to communicate the basic concepts of human and constitutional rights to residents of Maregaon Village and other areas around India where such caste-based discrimination is prevalent, as well as by carrying out punitive legal action against individuals who persist in their discrimination against the Ahirwar;
9. The Gadarwara district administration should arrange to have dead animals picked up and disposed of from rural areas since the Ahirwar have identified the activity as one of the main reasons for the discrimination against them and have voluntarily decided against continuing to do the job
If the authorities act on the recommendations above, Indian society may come to realise that common humanity should inspire compassion and respect for others, regardless of their gender, occupation and political, religious, linguistic, caste or ethnic affiliations. This will pave the way for cooperation and a lasting peace, which will in turn create an environment conducive to national progress. This will also have the effort of highlighting the government's resolve to uphold rule of law in India, increasing its legitimacy amongst the Indian people, and signal to the international community India's continued commitment to international treaties and obligations.
Yours sincerely,

MINORITIES IN DELHI

Posted by at No comments:

Population of New Delhi


Delhi, the National capital Territory occupies an area of 1,483 sq km and has a population of nearly 14 million with the population of New Delhi alone exploding to 11,680,000. Situated near the western bank of river Yamuna, the Capita city is surrounded by the Himalayas and the Aravalis ranges.

Population of New Delhi includes Hindi, Urdu, English and Punjabi speaking masses. Delhi is considered to be the second largest metropolitan city next to Mumbai with approximately 1,38,50,507 people dwelling in New Delhi according to Census 2001. Among total population 76, 07234 are male and 62, 43273 are female. The literacy rate of Delhi is 81.82% approximately. According to Census 2001, the population of New Delhi together with Delhi as a whole has ascended to 46.3% in 1991-2001. The up rise in the population of New Delhi is mainly due to the migration of people to the capital in search of better living standard. The population of New Delhi is expected to rise to 40% by 2021. The total density of Delhi is 9340 per sq km. Female sex ratio is 821 per 1000 males.

After Mumbai, Tokyo, and Japan, Delhi is expected to become the third largest aggregation in the globe by the year 2015. The people living below the poverty line accounted to 8.23% of the total population in 1999-2000 and recorded the highest percentage of crime report in India.

New Delhi is one of the nine districts of National Capital territory(NCT) of Delhi that came into existence from the month of January 1997 when the Capital was divided into Nine revenue Districts. According to Census 2001, the total population of the nine districts of the national capital territory is as follows:
Districts of National Capital territory(NCT)

The increment of Delhi's population from the 240,000 in 1911 to nearly 13,782,000 (Census 2001) is due to inflow of a great number of expatriates into the city since the time of independence from the nearby states and adjacent countries. Today, the composition of population in Delhi ruminates the perfect cosmopolitan image, with nearly half the total population arriving from outside. The Cosmopolitan city bears with it multi-ethnic and multi-culture with diverse religious composition of the population. 

The official record states that 82% of the population follow Hinduism, 11.7% are Muslims, Sikhs composes of 45 of the total population, Jains are 1.1% whereas 0.9 % of the community are Christians. There are other minority communities like Buddhists and Jews residing in the capital. While Hindi is the official language, English is considered to be the associate official Language. Urdu and Punjabi are the second official language of the NCT. Delhi has become the fastest growing cities of the world due to the high rate of immigration.

(Delhi H. C.), Date of filing: 17.05.2002, Status: Decided on 20.01.2004] have highlighted the facts that
there are more than 1500 unaided recognized Private Schools in Delhi and more than 1200 of these schools have been allotted public lands on throwaway prices. It is submitted that one of the objects behind it was that such schools discharge their social obligation to provide free education to a certain percentage of children of poor through their schools. It is also submitted that in case of most of these schools, an express condition that they shall ensure admission to the children belonging to weaker sections to the extent of 25% and grant freeship to them exist in the land allotment letters. However, in some cases though it has been
said in the allotment letters “That the society shall ensure that percentage of free ship from tuition fees as laid down under the rules is strictly complied with” but rules have not so far framed either by DDA in Delhi Govt. in this regard leaving such school to exploit the situation against public interest. It is submitted that the authorities have obtained an undertaking from all these schools at the time of allotment of land to the effect that they will ensure admission to the children of weaker sections to the extent of 25% and grant them free ship.
It is submitted that none of these schools has complied with the aforementioned condition of land allotment and the authorities are totally insensitive and apathetic towards the rights of poor, as they have not taken any action against such erring schools.

The petitioner submit that all the unaided recognized private schools in Delhi to whom public land have been allotted on throwaway prices are violating the conditions of land allotment as no school is providing free education to the children of the poor. It is also submitted that the public authorities have not taken any action against the erring schools for failure on the part of such schools to comply with the terms and conditions of land allotment. It is submitted that the growth of private school has widened the gulf between the classes and masses, which is opposed to the letter and spirit of the constitution of India. It is submitted that the provision of free education to the children of the poor as stipulated in the allotment of land letters, if implemented, will go long way to goals set out in the constitution. The Kothari Commission (1964-66) in its report noted:-
“1.36 The Common School. In a situation of the type we have in India, it is the responsibility of the educational system to being the different social classes and groups together and thus promotes the emergence of an egalitarian and integrated society. But at present instead of doing so, education itself is tending to increase social segregation and to perpetuate and widen class distinctions. At the primary stage, the free schools to which the masses send their children are maintained by the government and local authorities and are generally of poor quality. Some of the private schools are definitely better; but since many of them charge high fee, they are availed of only by the middle and the higher classes. At the secondary stage, a large proportion of the good schools are private but many of them also charge high fees which are normally beyond the means of any but the top ten per cent of the people, though some of the middle class parents make great sacrifices to send their children to them. There is thus segregation in education itself – the minority of private, fee charging, better schools meeting the needs of the upper classes and vast bulk of free,
publicly maintained, but poor schools being utilized by the rest. What is worse, this segregation is increasing and tending to widen the gulf between the classes and the masses.
1.37 This is one of the major weaknesses of the existing educational system. Good education, instead of being available to all children, or at least to all the able children from every stratum of society, is available only to a small minority which is usually selected not on the basis of talent but on the basis of its capacity to pay fees. The identification and development of the total national pool of ability is greatly hampered. The position is thus undemocratic and inconsistent with the ideal of an egalitarian society. The children of the
masses are compelled of receive sub-standard education and, as the programme of scholarships is not very large, sometimes even the ablest among them are unable to find access to such good schools as exist, while the economically privileged parents are able to `buy’ good education for their children. This is bad not only for the children of the poor but also for the children from the rich and privileged groups. I gives them a short-term advantage in so far as it enable them to perpetuate and consolidate their position. Bit it must be realized that, in the long run, their self-interest lies in identifying themselves with the masses. By segregating their children, such privileged parents prevent them from sharing the life and experiences of the children of the poor and coming into contact with the realities of life. In addition to weakening social cohesion, they also render the education of their own children anemic and incomplete.”
The petitioner submit that Law Commission of India in its 165th report on free and compulsory Education for children amongst other dealt with the question of free education to the children of the poor in private schools. It proposed “Free and Compulsory Education for Children Bill, 1998” In Section 12 of the said Bill, it was suggested that: “Section 12: -Every recognized school shall impart free education to twenty per cent of the students admitted to any class up to and inclusive of eighth standard. The students in this category shall be admitted by the school in consultation with the parent-teacher association and the concerned local authority from among the children of the poorer strata of society of the village or locality who are not able to afford the fee and other charges levied by the school.”
The petitioner submit that every child of this country has a fundamental right to receive free and compulsory education up to 14 years and in case of child with disability up to 18 years and this right is an independent right of the child and does not depend on the economic and other status of his/her parents. In terms of Article 51A of the constitution of India, it is the duty of every citizen to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavor and achievement. It is submitted that Delhi School Education Act, 1973 provides for free education up to 14 years of age and Person with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 provides free education to the children with disabilities up to 18 years.
The petitioner submit that all unaided recognized private schools in Delhi irrespective of the fact whether public land has been allotted to them or not, should provide free education to the children of the poor to the extend of 25% as a part of their social and moral duty towards the children of the poor. It is submitted that where public lands have been given to the private schools on throwaway prices, such schools have a legal obligation to provide free education to the children of the poor to the extend of 25% and incase they fail to discharge the said obligation, the public authorities are legally bound to take action against such erring
schools.
The petitioner sought directions against the public authorities to identify all such unaided recognized private schools in Delhi to whom the lands have been allotted by public bodies at concessional rates/free of cost and to place on record of the Court list of all such schools with relevant particulars thereof; to ensure that all Unaided Recognized Private Schools in Delhi to whom public lands have been allotted on concessional rates/free of cost should comply with the conditions of allotment of lands in regard to admission to the children of weaker sections of society to the extent of 25% and grant free ship to them; to take action
against the erring schools; to frame rules/policy laying down provision for admission by all unaided recognized private schools in Delhi to whom public lands have been allotted on concessional /free of cost to children belonging to weaker sections of society to the extent of 25% where the specific condition of free education to children of the poor up to 25% has not been incorporated in the allotment letter and to initiate high level enquiry to find out the names of the person/authorities who are responsible for their culpable acts of not ensuring the adherence of the conditions of allotment of lands to such private schools and permitting
such private schools to cheat children of the country by not providing them free education under the conditions of the allotment of land.
Delhi Government and the DDA have filed their replies shifting their obligations on each other. The DDA in its affidavit-dated 13.08.2002 submitted that one of the conditions mentioned in letter of allotment is that the school/Society shall give free studentship to 25% of the student from weaker sections of the locality. The Govt. of NCT, Department of Education is mainly responsible for the supervision/monitoring the Schools/Society to whom it grants recognition to School & recommendation for allotment of plot of land for the purpose of School. The Govt. of Delhi in its affidavit-dated 21.02.2003 submitted that they do not have any control over the terms and conditions fixed by the DDA for allotment of land. In fact, for violation of those terms and conditions, the DDA should cancel the lease or charge the schools the market rates.
The High Court (B.C. Patel C.J. and Badar Durrez Ahmed J) by judgment dated 20.01.2004 held, “ Thus, it is very clear that 25% of the students belonging to poor sections are entitled to get admission and free ship in such schools. However, it would be for the Directorate of Education to investigate the matter and to point out to the DDA wherever a breach is committed. If there are no rules for admission framed in this regard, it would be for the Directorate of Education to see that the rules are framed so that the weaker sections of
society may not suffer. It is hoped that within a period of four months this exercise shall be carried out and, after the DDA is informed, it will be the duty of the DDA to take appropriate action against any school committing breach of the condition. A compliance report be filed by the Directorate of Education after four months. With these directions, the petition stands disposed of.”
Comments
Will the Court Order be really implemented? This is currently a hot issue being debated all over the country. The decision of the High Court though limited to the unaided recognized private schools in Delhi who have been given public lands on throwaway prices but the same seems to be a radical step in bringing a change in educational scenario throughout the country. It is of course difficult but not impossible to get it implemented in its true spirit. Had the Government of Delhi interested in ensuring compliance of the condition of land allotment by these schools, the Social Jurist would not have filed the PIL in the High Court. The government, no matters, which political party runs it, has always seems to be on the side of school mafias. The masses are served with only lip services.
The Court by its Order of January 20, 2004 had given four months time to the government to carryout exercise of investigating the matter pointing out to the DDA wherever the breach is committed, but the process of such exercise was not started though a period of nearly three months has passed. The current academic session started from April 01, 2004. The government had not published so far the names and addresses of the schools obliged to provide admission/freeship to the students belonging to weaker sections. In the absence of such information, the students who were desirous to avail the benefit did not know to which schools they could apply. After all the efforts to persuade to government to act failed, the Social Jurist again approached the High Court for directions. The High Court on April 21,2004 directed the government to prepare the list of the identified schools with in a period of one week and soon thereafter the public at large should be informed that in particular schools, particular percentage of admissions are reserved for certain categories. It is only after these directions from the Court, the government came in action and published on 27.04.2004 in all the daily Delhi newspapers the list of as many as 142 schools, which according to the government have committed breach of the condition of allotment. The government on
27.04.2004 also issued an order detailing the following directions: -
“1. All schools will grant minimum 20% freeship (which includes Tuition Fees, PTA or any other fees/funds/charges of any kind related to teaching-learning) to the children of the weaker sections of society w.e.f. 1st of May 2004.
2. While making admissions, every 5th student is to be admitted from weaker sections of the Society. The annual parental income from all sources shall form the basis of admission in the schools. The qualifying parental income charges from time to time and the same will be notified from time to time by the Department of Education. However, the present annual parental income limit is Rs. 48,000/- for boy students and Rs. 60,000/- for girl students. Further, the parents of the child should have been staying in Delhi for last 5 years. Adequate poof like ration card or electoral identity card or driving licence or birth certificate of child etc. should be insisted on in this regard.
3. The income certificate in respect of parents will be issued by S.D.M. of the area or any other Revenue Officer not below the rank of the Tehsildar or Food & Supplies Officer, Department of NCT of Delhi.
4. In case of a child who has studied in an un-recognized school, provision of Rule 141 (1) of
the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973, would be applicable.
5. No registration fee including charges of prospectus, if any, will be charged from any of the students belonging to the weaker sections.
6. The admission to entry level, in respect of seats reserved for students belonging to the weaker sections, will be done by draw of lots in the presence of concerned parents, DDE or his nominee not below the rank of Vice-Principal of the government school. The system of draw of lots would be adopted only if registration exceeds more than the prescribed limit reserved for such students.
7. For admission in a class beyond entry level, the admission test will be held in the first week of April and the selection of students will be done based on relative grading, in case the registration exceeds the prescribed limit.
8. All schools will notify another date for inviting applications for admission, in case the registration in any class is below the prescribed limit.
9. No school shall withdraw any exemption from the payment of fee etc. granted to any student belonging to the weaker sections of the society without prior approval of the Director.
10. No school will refuse acceptance of the application for admission from any student belonging to the weaker sections of the society.
11. There shall be no hike in the fees/funds/charges for other students on the plea of grant of freeship to the students belonging to the weaker sections of the society.
12. Every unaided recognized private schools, shall in compliance of Rule 180 of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973, submit returns and documents in the following prescribed proforma to the Director of Education by 31st day of July of each year: -
(i) Budget estimates of receipts and payments of ensuring year.
(ii) Final Accounts i.e. receipts and payment account, income and expenditure and balance sheet of the preceding year (duly audited by the Chartered Accountant).
(iii) Enrolment of Students as on 30th April.
(iv) Pattern of concessions/scholarship, etc. (this pattern of concession would also include list
of children being granted freeship in pursuance of this order.
(v) Staff statement.
(vi) Schedule of fees/fines/funds, etc.
(vii) Statement showing the dates of disbursement of salaries.
Non-compliance of the above order will be viewed very seriously and strict action besides
withdrawal of recognition/stoppage of aid shall be taken against the erring schools.”
The media both print and electronic has highlighted the issue.
