Rejoinder:


After publishing the news story below we submitted a letter on 9th April 2010 to Paschim Banga Sarva Shiksha Mission - the nodal organization to ensure universalization of elementary education, requesting them to reimburse the cost and send directions so that children are able to get free admission upto class VIII. The SSA authorities were very sympathetic and the State Project Director of West Bengal requested the Director of School Education, West Bengal to issue an order so that children are able to get free admission in schools. Following is the copy of the letter (please click on the image to get readable pdf version). Please watch this space for news on further developments..
