New Delhi, Jan 13
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Monday launched a helpline where parents can register complains pertaining to the nursery admission procedures.
The helpline (011-2735 2525) was announced by Education Minister Manish Sisodia last month. It will enable aggrieved parents to contact the office of the education minister about nursery admission-related problems.
Nursery admissions are set to begin Wednesday.
"Why are Delhi schools resistant to being transparent? They should not have approached the high court," Kejriwal said.
He said the schools were "charitable societies" and their motive should not be earn profits.
Kejriwal also launched a web application, www.edudel.nic.in, which will facilitate pre-primary admission in recognised private schools.
