HUDA issues notice to 49 Ggn schools for flouting EWS norms

Gurugram: Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has served notice to 49 schools that were given land at subsidised rates but did not provide the admission to students under EWS. An RTI was filed by a city activist Harinder Dhingra on the number of students under EWS category by the 64 private schools that were given subsidised land by Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA).

The management of the schools in turn had committed that 10 percent of students under EWS category will be admitted on the government school fee structure and other 10 percent on the merit cum means basis.

However, when the official document was sought most of the schools refused to divulge the detail. Some of the educational institutions that provided information also have not adhered to the norms. Except for the two to three schools, most of the school management are not offering two percent of the seats to EWS students.
