Kurukshetra, May 2
Even as the district administration
on Wednesday ordered a probe into fake income certificates submitted by parents
to secure seat under EWS quota, the Federation of Private Schools’ Welfare
Association (FPSWA) decided to approach the High Court to remove the
shortcomings in the admission process.
Kulbhshan Sharma, president, FPSWA,
said the Kurukshetra-based private school had successfully exposed the
anomalies in Rule 134-A of the Haryana Right to Education Act, to which, the
state government had turned a blind eye for years. He alleged seats under the
EWS quota were being sold in connivance with officials of the revenue and
education departments.
A news story was reported in these
columns on Tuesday on identification of seven cases in which the income tax
returns did not match the attested income certificates furnished by the parents
at Wisdom World School.
Deputy Commissioner SS Phulia on
Wednesday said he had directed the district education officer and district
elementary education officer to investigate the matter.
Prateek Kumar, SHO City, said a
complaint had been received from Wisdom World School and further action would
be initiated on the basis of the investigation.
Meanwhile,
Sharma said schools across the state claimed up to 80 per cent ineligible
students were being enrolled under EWS quota.
