Pal, 4, will attend his first junior KG class on Wednesday after getting
admission to Bangur Nagar Vidya Bhavan, Goregaon, under the 25% quota
for those from the economically weaker sections.
“We could not afford to enroll our son in a private school. We are happy that he will receive free education now,” said Sheela Pal, whose husband works as a tempo driver and earns Rs6,000 a month.
Suman Vishwakarma, another Goregaon resident, was also relieved that her four-year- old daughter will finally go to school.
“It took us more than 10 days to get the income certificate, and many parents are still waiting for theirs,” said Vishwakarma.

“We are happy that students are getting the benefit of the the RTE
Act,” said Usha Mangtani, the principal of Bangur Nagar Vidya Bhavan.
Desh Seva Samiti, a not-for-profit organisation has helped these
students get admission.
Last week, Bhawan’s A H Wadia High School in Andheri, admitted 20 students in their nursery section through a lottery system under the 25 % quota.
The school received 38 applications, of which nine did not have relevant documents such as caste certificate and income certificate.
On June 21, the 20 children attended their first day of school. “We had put up a notice in the first week of June and parents came to us to seek admissions under the RTE Act,” said Nonica D’souza, principal.
On Wednesday, education inspectors will submit data of schools
which have admitted students under the quota and the number of vacant
seats in other schools to the education department.
