STOP HUMILIATING EWS STUDENT-SJ TELLS SCHOOL

25.09.2009

To
Dr. Avtar Singh
Principal
Guru Harkishan Public School
Nanak Piao, Delhi


Dear Sir,

It has been brought to our notice that by the demand letter dated 25.09.2009 your school has informed the parents (M.9871241924) of Suchit Kumar, class V-C student of your school that the fees for the month of April to September 2009 in respect of Suchit Kumar has not been received till 24.09.09 and they are required to deposit fee immediately otherwise the name of Suchit would be struck off due to non payment of fees.


It is submitted that Suchit Kumar was admitted in your school in nursery class in 2004-05 under EWS quota and since then he has been study in your school and at present he is a student of class V-C. At the time of initially admission, the parents of Suchit Kumar had submitted their income certificate issued by the local SDM and on the strength that the admission was granted to Suchit Kumar under EWS category.


That since Master Suchit Kumar has been admitted in your school under EWS category, he is legally entitled to continue to have the benefit of EWS category till his completion of class 12 studies. Therefore, the aforesaid demand on your part for payment of fees in neither justified nor legal.


We are told that during the last week, at least on 3 days, the class teacher in the presence of entire class asked Suchit Kumar to tell his parents to pay the fees which has caused unwanted humiliation to the child. You will appreciate that the child must not be target in any circumstances. Such practice of humiliating the child must be stopped.

It is requested that you may kindly withdraw your demand letter dated 25.09.09 and allow Suchit Kumar to have the benefit of EWS quota.

With regards
