A very nice decision has come today from the Directorate of Education , Govt. of Delhi that it will not 'Charge' any fee like PWF (Pupil Welfare Fund) from students up to class VIII in present session 2010-11 and ordered all concerned to return the collected fees to the students in favour of Right To Education Act 2009.
DELTA had opposed the collection of fees in Govt Schools and a news was published in Dainik Jagran dated 13th April 2010. The scanned image of that news is available below on this blog posted on the same day.

Friends, this is another victory for our ideals that only, WE, the Govt school teachers can change the present conditions of Govt schools and the image of teachers in society.
Congratulations to you all......

We thank and pay our heartiest gratitude to Respected Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely and his team of officers of Education Dept who accepted our suggestions and took such a nice decision in favour of general public.
We are waiting another circular on scrapping of collection of PTA (Pupil Teacher Association) fund also and lightly surprised why this 'left out word' is not included in this circular too.
This decision will bring happiness certainly on the faces of lakhs of poor families and students in coming future. Rs. fifty note is not a big amount for those policy makers who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth but it is still a 'dream' for many students who come in our classes to face humiliation by classmates with a patch hand stitched on their pants and shirts.

Can you feel the pain of that student who have no money to buy a new shirt or pant which comes hardly in Rs 65 on footpath of Mangal Baazar......but being forced 'by' sir or madam to pay this amount as fee in a 'GOVT' school........
