Delhi: 28,000 EWS seats allotted through computerised draw

Sisodia said 73,000 applications were received. “Many parents may opt out. Then the same process will be repeated to allots the remaining seats,” said Sisodia.

Sisodia added that government has made things easier for private schools as they can now verify the income certificate online.

Parents just have to bring printouts of the application form, two photographs, a self-attested photocopy of proof of birth, residence and other relevant certificates.

Sisodia also issued an advisory to schools. “Parents are coming to you with hope. Your behaviour should be cooperative…,” he added.

He asked private schools to cooperate with the government.

“Tell us about the issues you face. We will improve that. We will give you money to pay for uniforms and books of EWS category students. We will find a formula so that money won’t be misused… We can work with cooperation… If my intervention is required, bring it to me,” he added.
