BREAKING NEWS~ No Admissions from 15 Jan- Court Date deferred to 15 Jan
Nursery admissions on hold, won’t begin on Jan 15 Hindustan Times New Delhi, January 13, 2014
Nursery admissions in Delhi will not begin on January 15 as some private schools on Monday moved the Delhi high court against the new guidelines, terming them illegal and arbitrary.
Some unaided private schools challenged a single-judge bench order that had on January 10 refused to stay the government notification setting down criteria for admissions.
The new norms were issued by lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung last month. Unaided private schools are those who do not get government grant.
The city has around 1.25 lakh nursery seats as against almost 1.50 lakh applicants. The top 50 schools get most applications even as seats remain vacant in the remaining 1,000 schools.
While it refused to stay the new guidelines, a division bench of justice Pradeep Nandrajog and justice Jayant Nath indicated that certain admission guidelines needed a "re-look".
“This (petition) needs detailed hearing. We are simply deferring the hearing without any order," the bench said. The Delhi government assured the court that it would not commence the admission process on January 15 and wait for its order.AS ADMISSIONS WONT START FROM 15JAN ,WILL DEPEND ON JUDGEMENT OF COURTS ON 15 JAN.
Court: Minority institutes can devise own rules
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The Delhi high court on Monday stayed the operation of certain provisions of Delhi government's nursery admission guidelines concerning minority schools, saying these institutions are free to devise their own procedures and should be treated “differently”.
Pointing out that there are apex court verdicts safeguarding the rights available to minority-run institutions under the Constitution, Justice Manmohan said “treat them differently and the right to administer a minority school also contains the right to devise procedure for admission so long they (procedures) are fair and transparent.”
Granting interim relief to Society of Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Delhi and the Forum of Minority Schools, which represented nearly 50 institutions, the court said that keeping in view the decisions of the Supreme Court, such schools are “entitled to admit students according to their own procedures so long as they are transparent and fair and accordingly, the impugned notification is stayed.”
City gets a nursery helpline
1,724 Complaints On 1st Day, 3-Day Time Frame For Resolution
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The series of court cases on the new nursery guidelines didn’t deter the Delhi government from launching a helpline and a web application to “facilitate” pre-primary admissions. Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal launched these the same day the government told the high court that it will postpone the admission process, initially scheduled to start on January 15.
The helpline received 1,724 complaints on the first day.
Education minister Manish Sisodia says he wants to make sure grievances are dealt with as soon as possible. Officials will have three days to resolve matters related to a complaint. Each private unaided school will have a board with the phone number of the area’s education officer as well as the helpline number at the entrance. “This is just to assure parents that the government is with them,” says Sisodia.
The management of the helpline has been outsourced to a call centre. The helpline can be accessed from 9.30am to 6pm. Parents can call on the number 27352525 – there are 30 lines currently manned by four-five “trained call executives” – and register complaint. They will receive a “unique identification number” through SMS and within three days, another text message saying what action has been taken.
Every morning, Sisodia will get a list of complaints registered from officials and another list of matters that have been closed. “I will crosscheck. I will randomly pick 10 parents, call from my own phone and ask them if they are satisfied with the solution provided,” he says. Earlier he had warned the officials, “If we find that you are at fault, there will be action against you as well.” The complaints registered through the helpline will be forwarded to both the school the complaint is against as well as the education officer. Kejriwal tried the helpline at the launch but it was already engaged.
The web application which can be accessed from the Directorate of Education’s website —www.edudel.nic.in-—will carry information on schools. Parents can select their own location from a list and find details of all the schools in the area.
“This part will evolve further. Eventually, parents will be able to compare school through charts to make informed decisions,” says Sisodia. He said the problems faced by teachers will also be addressed but there “should be no compromise on the main goal with is to create an educated society.”
Referring to the court cases challenging the new nursery guidelines— which finally led to the postponement of admissions—Kejriwal says, “All schools are run by trusts and not for money. The schools should stop resisting the changes.”

Mahesh,
that should be the spirit of every parent whether he is really trying for his ward admission or otherwise. don't worry about the critics like from sansan. the winner is who that learns from the criticisms because some vital goodness is hidden in that and we need to take out the same. be ready to face many more other things but continue with your efforts for a noble cause. let there should be no child without quality education.

Mr. sansan, could you please tell me where were you during previous year admissions on this forum. If you support parent community, you should have come to support for this just cause. You know hardly 5-7 persons remained on this forum out of 70,000. And you speak about the great help.
