We will fight to the end……Even if we loose….We will not take it quietly!

We need education to shape the future of the nation..
Each one teach one
You must have heard these oft repeated quotes.
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself Does anyone care for these lines?
We do not know whats your reply is but what we know is that Schools and DOE do not believe in this, we would furter go to the extent of even saying that Schools believe that Education would shape their futre by generating fat donations and DOE agrees with schools by not taking action against such monstrous schools.

You would find below what can be labelled as GROSS INJUSTICE, Prejudice, Discrimanation and bias - against a 3 year old by denying a child his right to be educated.

To,
The Principal,
Delhi Public School ,
Mathura Road , New Delhi

Sub: Representation regarding gross injustice to Iklavya Singh, a candidate for admission to Pre-School in your school by adopting deliberate and illegal means.

Sir/Madam,
We are the parents of Iklavya Singh, who is a candidate for admission to the Pre-School in your school. We bring to your kind notice, the following few facts for immediate and necessary action:

That for our son, Iklavya Singh, born on the 10th of July,2004, we applied through the proper process of your school for admission in pre-school. On completion of the preliminary formalities as contemplated by the process of your school, our son was awarded 60 marks by you and was shortlisted for admission as per the original list posted on the website www.dpsmathuraroad.org .

That thereafter, we met your good self on the 29th of January,2008 and got the documents verified. During this entire meeting, you and your associates appeared quite satisfied and asked us to wait for the final list .

That , however when the final list was posted by you, we were shocked to find the name of our son missing from it. The score of our son’s marks reduced from 60 to 52 in a most arbitrary, mischievous and biased manner without any valid reason. On enquiry, your office told us that since our residence ( 139 – D , Pocket – C , Siddhartha Extension ) is at a distance of about 4-5 kilometers from the school. We respectfully submit that this observation by your office is factually wrong and is not likely to cause any damage whatsoever to the school. Moreover, kindly recollect from record that the destination of disembarkation of our son has been given as RajDoot Hotel which is precisely 1.8 Kilometers from your school. Also, our residence is precisely 2.75 Kilometers from the school . We are prepared to board our son and take him back at the bus stop of RajDoot Hotel , a fact thoroughly discussed and agreed upon in our interaction with you and your staff on the 29th of January,2008.


It is clear from the above-mentioned fact that deducting 8 marks of our son for this reason is absolutely arbitrary and illegal. We are forced to read between the lines to conclude that our son has been deprived this opportunity for the reasons best known to you, for which there is no just and concrete explanation.

By the above action of your office, we feel highly aggrieved and discriminated. In view of the above-mentioned facts and circumstances, we hereby call upon you to rectify the above defects committed by your office by reducing the score of our son, and give our son admission in your school at the earliest failing which we shall be construed to knock the doors of law for this intentional high-handedness and arbitrary process adopted by you.

A copy of this representation is retained by us for future reference if any.

1. Delhi Public School Society
2. Director of School Education, Delhi
3. Office of The Chief Minister of Delhi

Thanks and Regards.

Now let be tell you about our story at AmiOwn ( Pushp Vihar )....
We did not take the child along as we thought we were following the norms and becoz of the genuine and more important reason that the concerned child was suffering from high fever. We tried to explain this to the ladies at the reception. Their response " Can't you read, You seem to be educated, The slip says that there will be no interaction without the kid".. I politely told them that the slip does not say so. Their response " Go get the child or there will be no interaction". At this point I lost my cool and raised my voice and said " Do you want me to kill my child? " Response - " Come on monday (it was a friday) with the child". I held my ground, was granted interaction with the chairperson Mrs. Chauhan who was adamant to know about my, my parents, and my inlaws income and only the income...... Then she asked me to get the child to the school on Monday.... Well I did....
Now there is no news of admission list on the website. When you call them, or call upon them , They ask you to wait... Till when ...no one knows.... I think I will teach my kid on my own at home for the next 12 years.... It is a guarantee that he will turn out to be a better human being than what AMITY can ever make him.... but AMITY will still not like him... Because I will teach him to fight against injustice.....

I HAVE SUGGESTED U IN MY POST ON 6TH FEBRUARY THAT ANYONE WHO IS NOT OFFERING DONATIONS, THEIR MARKS WERE ARBITRARILY BEING CUT WITH A VIEW TO ADJUST THE APPLICANTS WHO CAN OFFER HEFTY DONATIONS. I HAVE ALSO SUGGESTED NOT TO BANK, RELY AND HOPE ON THIS SCHOOL.
SEE THE LEFT SIDE WITH HEADING YEH DPS MATHURA ROAD WALE NAHI SUDHARENGE. I AM ALSO ONE OF THE SHIKAR OF DPS. MY DAUGHTER (ISHITA GUPTA) NAME APPEARED AT NO. 172 WITH 57 MARKS, DESPITE ME AND MY WIFE BEING PROFESSIONALS, LIVING IN CP, THEY HAVE DEDUCTED ARBITRARILY 10 MARKS SO THAT THEY CAN ACCOMODATE OTHERS AGAINST HEFTY DONATIONS. GOD KNOWS WHEN BETTER SENSE WILL PREVAIL UPON DPS PEOPLE
