EWS admission:Delhi govt to 'randomly' inspect private schools

New Delhi: Delhi government has identified over 300 schools as "defaulters" for not sharing the status of EWS admissions and announced it would conduct "random" inspections in all private schools.

The Directorate of Education (DoE) has formed 24 teams to visit the schools and verify the record of admissions under Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Disadvantaged Group (DG) categories in entry level classes for the academic session 2016-17.

The teams, comprising three members each, will submit their reports wihin two days of inspecting a school.

The government has also warned the defaulter schools of action for not submitting data of admissions despite repetitive reminders, due to which the second draw of lots is pending and the entire admission process has been delayed.

"DoE is empowered to conduct special inspection of private unaided schools on any special aspects of the working of an institution and all records of the school are open to scrutiny by any officer authorised by the Director or appropriate authority at any time," the department said in communication to school heads.

"All private schools are under obligation to admit 25 per cent students belonging to EWS and DG categories. In order to ensure transparency in the process, government had invited online applications, conducted computerized draw of lots and the list of selected candidates was forwarded to schools for completion of admission formalities in a time-bound manner.

"It has been decided that private schools are required to be inspected randomly by various teams consisting of directorate officials," it added.

In a separate circular, the government has identified 306 schools as defaulters for not updating the admission status under the first computerised draw.


The schools have been asked to upload the details on the department's website by April 8, failing which they could face action under the provisions of Delhi School Education Act and Rules.

Tum Kitne Afzal Maroge, Ghar Ghar Se Afzal Niklega!

It is hard to trace the origin of sloganeering or probably beyond my capability to do so but if we consider the broad meaning then sloganeering is an act to unite like-minded people, incite them and instill within them a sense of oneness, predominately for some cause. If I am not very wrong, if so I can stand corrected, sloganeering was made famous during the early days of uprising by rebels against the tyrannical rulers. In India, during the struggle for freedom, slogans were made to get people together and rise up against the British Raj. "Inkalaab Zindabaad" was one among many that was probably the most used and by far the most useful slogans used during those days. The two words simply mean "Long live Revolution" but the greater meaning had a great impact in the minds of millions who dreamt of waking up in a free country. Inkalaab Zindabaad was so famous that even in today's generation we use it almost anytime we wish to show our dissent towards s...

Will the shift from BS-IV to VI cost Audi in India?

By Ankit Berry New Delhi:   India is trying hard to move towards being a greener country and has been bringing in a slew of measures to curb the menace of pollution. In one such step towards a better India, the Government of India decided to move from BS-IV standards to BS-VI norms. Audi India head Joe King welcomed this, however,  apprehensively. Joe feels that the move from BS-IV norms to BS-VI norms directly is a good move and it would be beneficial for manufacturers as it reduces complexit ies and therefore, the cost substantially. But he is scared that the adequate fuel quality to implement this may be hard to achieve. This shift from BS-IV – VI has a target of 2020. This has most car makers in a fix as a slew of regulations are about to hit them. On top of that, new vehicles with a diesel engine capacity of above 2000 cc are not allowed to be registered in Delhi. According to Joe, these rules have confused car makers i n terms of the diesel issue...

IS IT ISLAM THAT KILLS?

Terrorism, in the 21st century, is something that has not only shaken up all parts of the world but also has it brought bad name to the Muslims. People all the world over abuse the religion for giving birth to people who spread terror and kill innocents. And on top of that a new radical Muslim group springs up every now and then. But let us think about it rationally. Does all these incidents actually make the religion or so to say the the Quran a piece of shit? Consider a group of people forming a new radical group going about saying that their religion asks them to kill people, that their religion asks them to fight against the innocent. Does that mean we start believing that there is problem in the religious scripts of that religion? Anybody can claim anything, but we have been gifted with a mind which is supposed to be used rationally and not just follow arbitrary nincompoops. It is also baffling to see that whenever a terrorist attack takes place the media all over uses th...
