Pardarshita filed PIL in High Court
Article 21 A of Constitution states that “Every child between the ages of 6 to 14 years has the right to free and compulsory education.” Not only this RTE Act has also been enacted since 1st April 2010 and according to Section 3 (1) & 3(2) of Right to Education Act
Section 3(1)“Every child of age of six to fourteen years shall have a right to free and compulsory education in a neighborhood school till completion of elementary education”
Section 3(2)“no child shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses which may prevent him/her from pursuing and completing the elementary education”.
But surprisingly, government school Authorities, who are supposed to be aware of this Act, are not abiding by the same. Principals of Government Schools are collecting Rs 97 from the students of Class I to VIII in the name of Parents Teachers Association Fund and Pupil Welfare Fund. This is not one time collection but the students have to pay Rs 45 quarterly for pupil Welfare Fund
When such violations came to the notice of Pardarshita by the students, then more than 500 students were assisted by Pardarshita in raising their voice against violation. A complaint with the Delhi Govt. and Chairperson of NCPCR and DCPCR was filed. More than three months have been passed but no action by any of the authority has been taken so far. Therefore Pardarshita has filed a PIL in Delhi High Court with the help of Divya Jyoti Jaipuriar, Advocate HRLN for violation of RTE Act and today Hon’ble High Court has issued notice to Delhi Govt. in this matter.

Dear Friends,
Sub: Withdrawal of call for Indefinite Strike by the JAC of Staff Associations of NVS – Reg
Ref: Discussions of the representatives of JAC with the Hon’ble Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Govt. of India dated 28-01-2010.
*****
It is hoped that by now, you would have received the copy of minutes of the meeting of the JAC of Staff Associations of NVS with the Hon’ble Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Govt. of India, forwarded by us to all the JNVs, by E-mail dated 29-01-2010.
In the same context, we bring to your knowledge and information the events that took place in a chronological sequence.
1. 23-01-2010: - A meeting of the JAC was convened at PUNE, where at discussions at threadbare were held and decided to observe indefinite strike w.e.f 01-02-2010.
2. 25-01-2010: - While the meeting was in progress at PUNE, we have received a call from the NVS headquarters office inviting the JAC representatives for a dialogue. Accordingly, all the members of the JAC met with the Hon’ble Commissioner NVS on 25-01-2010, where at no positive assurance came from the NVS administration. As such we were forced to inform the NVS of our resolute stand on the indefinite strike w.e.f 01-02-2010.
3. 27-01-2010: - JAC fired the shot to NVS headquarters intimating the irrevocable decision of indefinite strike w.e.f 01-02-2010 as there was no assurance on our demands. The same evening, the JAC representatives received call from Shri. Alok Varma, Joint Commissioner(Admn), NVS , New Delhi, to the effect that the Commissioner, NVS has arranged a meeting with the Hon’ble Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Govt. of India, New Delhi on 28-01-2010 and extended invitation to attend the same.
4. 28-01-2010: - The representatives of JAC who had already reached their respective places, had to fly to New Delhi, for the important meeting with the Secretary. The meeting was preceded by another meeting with the commissioner NVS at Shastri Bhavan on the forenoon of 28-01-2010. (The present commissioner, NVS is holding the post of Joint Secretary in the department of elementary education.) where at the commissioner advised all the JAC representatives to be pragmatic in the issue. Later late in the evening Smt. Anshu Vaish Hon’ble Secretary took the most crucial meeting with the JAC representatives. She heard us patiently and appreciated our genuine and most legitimate demands. She had assured that she will take up the issues with the secretary, finance ministry effectively in the days to come. During the discussions with the commissioner, NVS and the secretary (SE&L), it was assured that a meeting would be arranged with the Hon’ble HRM between 02-02-2010 and 15-02-2010.
The JAC could gauge sincerity and honesty in the statements of the secretary (SE&L) and the commissioner, NVS. Moreover the proceedings of the meeting were recorded in shape of minutes and communicated to all.
In the above circumstances, the JAC felt that it would be wise to allow some more time to the Government in the direction of viewing and reviewing the just and legitimate demands of the staff. Hence, we have a unanimous decision to withdraw the call for indefinite strike.
The JAC shall continue to wage relentless struggles in achieving our just demands of CCS Pension 1972 pattern and 10% special allowance to non-teaching staff in particular and all other genuine demands in general. Since this is the first time in the annals of NVS that an assurance to solve our problems was given in written shape which the JAC had to honor. This is our collective victory.
We may further inform that the JAC met with the Joint Commissioner (Admn.) and Joint Commissioner (Pers.), NVS headquarters, New Delhi, Separately on 29-01-2010 and discussed all the outstanding demands of the staff and requested for time-bound solution. They have advised us to submit issue wise representations, for finding speedy solutions and expedite solution. Following are the main issues discussed
a) Adhoc bonus to teaching staff.
b) Grant of Senior scale / ACP to teaching and non-teaching staff.
c) Grade pay of Rs 1800/- to group D employee.
d) Exemption of license fee to non-teaching staff.
e) One day token strike on 16-11-2009.
f) Modification of recruitment rules.
g) Restoration of Pay-Scale of Assistant, Audit Assistant, P-A, OS and SO.
h) ACP to drivers.
i) Earned Leave to vacation staff.
j) Ex-gratia to be paid to diseased employees families of Rs. 30,000/-
k) Creation of PGT post in Modern Indian languages.
l) Uniforms and Text-Books.
Friends, let us watch the developments. If any sabotage is attempted to water down our moment and unity, we shall roar like lions and plunge into the action with re-doubled vigour in the days to come.
You are requested to feel free to send your feedback.
With Best Wishes.
Yours Sincerely.

Thanks to JOSH for inviting us to work together
Dear Mr. Tiwari, We got your reference from Hon'ble CIC and learned that you have been working on compliance to Section 4 of the RTI Act.
It is in this regard that we would like to invite you to a half day seminar on ‘RTI: New Dimensions in Effective Implementation and Reach’ to be held on 04.11.09 between 2:00-5:00 pm at Scope Complex, Lodhi Road.
The seminar is been organized by Rakshak Foundation, a group of young people, based in California and JOSH, working with young people across different colleges and Universities on issues of transparency and accountability using the Right to Information.
Mr. Shailesh Gandhi (Central Information Commissioner) and Ms. Aruna Roy (RTI activist and Magsasay Award Winner) have already confirmed their participation in the panel of this seminar.
The seminar will provide a platform to discuss the Right to Information Act, how it could be better implemented so most of the mandatory disclosers are put in the public domain i.e. proper implementation of the Section 4 of the RTI Act and how fee structure could be changed so that it can be properly used by the NRIs. Seminar sets up a stage for the public views, questions and answer and interactions with RTI activists, Central Information Commission and academicians.
Background:
Section 4 of the Right to Information Act, which lists 17 sub clauses obligates all public authorities to proactively disclose information about its functioning. According to the RTI Act all public authorities were supposed to have implemented Section 4 within 120 days from the enactment of the Act (which is by 12th of October 2005). Section 4 is an important provision of the RTI Act, as it requires categorization and cataloging of information, presenting information in a form such that it can be accessed easily by citizens, update the information provided at regular intervals and publish all information such that it is widely disseminated.
A one day seminar was organized to discuss and understand the different requirements under the Section 4 of the RTI Act by University of Delhi along with the Central Information Commission and JOSH on the 7th June 2009. The seminar was attended by the Vice Chancellor, Pro Vice Chancellor and Registrar of University of Delhi along with Mr. Shailesh Gandhi (Central Information Commissioner), Ms. Aruna Roy (Social Activist) and Principals and Public Information Officers of 83 colleges/institutions under University of Delhi.
After this seminar, several follow-up letters have gone out to the different colleges/institutions under University of Delhi from the Central Information Commission, JOSH and University of Delhi. As a result of which some colleges have implemented Section 4 partly while the others still needs to comply with this provision of the RTI Act.
This seminar hopes to bring together people from different fields, committed to the issue of transparency and government officials to interact and understand the importance of effective implementation of all the transparency measure as per the RTI Act.
Hope you will accept our invitation and confirm your participation in the seminar so that we can make arrangements accordingly.
Date: 4th November, 2009
Venue: Tagore Hall, Scope Complex, near CGO Complex, 7 Lodhi Road, New Delhi
Timing: 2.00pm – 5.00pm
Thank you,
Regards,
