Nursery Admissions in Delhi NCR 2024-25

I was talking to a colleague whose kid is in 7th grade now. He was telling me how the school fees doubled in the year EWS was introduced - meaning, regular folks were indirectly paying for the EWS kids too.

Today there was an article in TOI that says Khujliwaal will be paying the EWS school fees (meaning, tax payers will be paying really, since Khujliwaal does not have any earnings of his own).

So, essentially, we were already footing the bill for EWS (via doubling of school fees few years back) and now we will again pay for it by our taxes?

Isn't there a RAT somewhere?

Dear SG

the criterion for EWS is clearly defined but i am not sure how it is perceived and what are the checks to make sure that brazen rule flouting don't take place .

I also share your concern and have met a couple of parents who jolly well did not fit into EWS

I think the govt has removed any checks for getting income certificates (at least that is what I heard in a recent interview of the CM). One can get it on the basis of self declaration.

I believe they have made higher penalty for getting caught with wrong income certificate later on.

SDM still has to attest and government will verify ews declarations as need arises -

There are many things broken in our country. This too is one such thing then - clearly being exploited by people who know how to work the system and of course being ignored by those in the Govt. who depend on the EWS vote banks.

Well, what can we do.

Read this news. I have applied in 15 schools & did not manage to get one seat & here it is....

Delhi EWS scam: 1,000 fake admissions in 200 schools
Nearly 1,000 students got admissions in 200 schools in Delhi from 2013 to 2015 with fake economically weaker section (EWS) certificates to avail of quota for the category, according to sources associated with the police probe into the scam.

This is what has emerged after scrutiny of 200 schools, more such cases could emerge as the probe looks at other schools, said sources.

Delhi Police Crime Branch is set to file a supplementary chargesheet next month in the EWS scam naming principals of four private schools as the main accused, said a source Monday. Additionally, the chargesheet would also name 95 couples as the main accused, added the source.

“In their last supplementary chargesheet, police had mentioned the names of 65 fathers as the main accused, but court concerned found the signature of mothers in all the EWS forms. Subsequently, the names of all 65 mothers were also mentioned as main accused,” said the source.

Going ahead, investigators are likely to talk to principals of schools where admissions with fake EWS certificates have been spotted, said sources.

Earlier, Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Ravindra Yadav had said these fake EWS certificates were used to gain admission in several schools including DPS in Rohini, Vasant Kunj, RK Puram, Mathura Road; Junior Modern School in Humayun Road; Lancer Convent, Ryan International School, Montfort School in Ashok Vihar; GD Goenka, Heritage School, Vikas Bharti in Rohini; and Bal Bharti School in Pitampura.

Of the admissions on the basis of fake certificates, 30 were found in Lancer Convent School in Rohini; 35 in Apeejay School in Pitampura; 10 in Junior Modern School in Humayun Road; and 20 in Venkateshwar Global School, said a source.

“The EWS certificates of nearly 70 per cent students were found forged and most of these certificates were made from outside the offices of sub-divisional magistrates (SDMs) by touts. They took Rs 500 to Rs 5,000 from parents,” added the source.

Investigation also found that some of the schools sent these EWS certificates to the offices of SDMs concerned during the process of scrutiny, but did not receive any reply in the last three years, said the source.

“The Crime Branch recently sought answers from SDM offices, but most could not give satisfactory replies. Answers came from two offices, but without documents being provided,” added the source.
