Government wants neighbourhood as primary admission criteria in schools given land on concession by DDA. (Archive Photo)The Delhi government’s plans to make neighbourhood the primary criteria in nursery admissions could face problems as Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has expressed reservations on its implementation.
The government — which has to submit in court its plans for admission in schools that got land on concession from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) — had first sent its plan to the L-G.
Sources said while Jung is happy with the plan, he has expressed reservations about how it will be implemented. He has asked the government to hold a meeting with stakeholders, including schools and land-owning authorities, before the final criteria is set. The meeting is scheduled for Monday.
