&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
An inspection of 60 schools &amp;ndash; most of them located in East Delhi and Chandni Chowk parliamentary constituencies &amp;ndash; by over 15 organisations under the Delhi Right to Education Forum has revealed &amp;ldquo;complete lack of hygiene&amp;rdquo; in most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per Joint Operation for Social Help (JOSH), which had filed a complaint with the Central Information Commission about the state of schools in Delhi, the inspection was undertaken in accordance with an order issued by the CIC. The order allowed for inspection by citizens of all schools under the Delhi Government on the last working day of every month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the inspection undertaken on Friday, the Forum found that there was &amp;ldquo;complete lack of hygiene facilities in the schools&amp;rdquo;. It said &amp;ldquo;most of the schools lacked adequate sweepers&amp;rdquo; and thereby had &amp;ldquo;very few functional toilets&amp;rdquo; despite having over 2,500 children. Most schools had sweepers on contract with limited responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Forum also stated that there was &amp;ldquo;enormous delay in distribution of the text books&amp;rdquo; in these schools. &amp;ldquo;Many schools have received the text books in the month of September, whereas the session had started in April. This clearly indicates how these students are expected to study!&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was the case with the disbursement of various scholarships including those meant for Dalit and minority students. &amp;ldquo;The scholarships due for the academic session of 2009-2010 have just been received by the schools,&amp;rdquo; it noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District schools, from where Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal is the Member of Parliament, the Forum had inspected schools in the Jama Masjid area. &amp;ldquo;None of the schools had any playground and there was no sports equipment. Most of these schools have sports teachers but since there is no playground therefore no sports activity is undertaken.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District, the Forum said the teachers claimed that almost 90 per cent of the schools did not have any playground facilities. Shortage of teachers in the schools was also a &amp;ldquo;consistent problem&amp;rdquo;. Besides, the Fourm said, all schools inspected in East District had ongoing construction work in the schools and this was adversely impacting studies there. &amp;ldquo;The construction work has been undertaken by the DSIIDC (Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd). The school authorities claimed that there has been enormous delay in completion of construction work by this department. Also, the authorities claimed that the construction has been of very poor quality,&amp;rdquo; the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;And since the school management has no coordination with the DSIIDC, &amp;ldquo;there was complete chaos in the schools&amp;rdquo;. Due to the construction work, it said, the labourers are staying on the school premises in many places and this had been leading to problems such as shortage of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, in its order, the CIC had directed all the Delhi Government schools to make available all records and documents pertaining to admission, attendance, budget allocation and expenditure, details of scholarships and other registers in the school for inspection by citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although most school authorities cooperated with the teams of citizens and members of the anchoring organisation, some schools in East Delhi District, especially those in evening shift, refused inspection and allegedly misbehaved with the inspection team, the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Lack of hygiene, adequate toilets, sweepers found&lt;br /&gt;
Books, scholarships reaching students very late&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

An inspection of 60 schools &amp;ndash; most of them located in East Delhi and Chandni Chowk parliamentary constituencies &amp;ndash; by over 15 organisations under the Delhi Right to Education Forum has revealed &amp;ldquo;complete lack of hygiene&amp;rdquo; in most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per Joint Operation for Social Help (JOSH), which had filed a complaint with the Central Information Commission about the state of schools in Delhi, the inspection was undertaken in accordance with an order issued by the CIC. The order allowed for inspection by citizens of all schools under the Delhi Government on the last working day of every month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the inspection undertaken on Friday, the Forum found that there was &amp;ldquo;complete lack of hygiene facilities in the schools&amp;rdquo;. It said &amp;ldquo;most of the schools lacked adequate sweepers&amp;rdquo; and thereby had &amp;ldquo;very few functional toilets&amp;rdquo; despite having over 2,500 children. Most schools had sweepers on contract with limited responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Forum also stated that there was &amp;ldquo;enormous delay in distribution of the text books&amp;rdquo; in these schools. &amp;ldquo;Many schools have received the text books in the month of September, whereas the session had started in April. This clearly indicates how these students are expected to study!&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was the case with the disbursement of various scholarships including those meant for Dalit and minority students. &amp;ldquo;The scholarships due for the academic session of 2009-2010 have just been received by the schools,&amp;rdquo; it noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District schools, from where Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal is the Member of Parliament, the Forum had inspected schools in the Jama Masjid area. &amp;ldquo;None of the schools had any playground and there was no sports equipment. Most of these schools have sports teachers but since there is no playground therefore no sports activity is undertaken.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District, the Forum said the teachers claimed that almost 90 per cent of the schools did not have any playground facilities. Shortage of teachers in the schools was also a &amp;ldquo;consistent problem&amp;rdquo;. Besides, the Fourm said, all schools inspected in East District had ongoing construction work in the schools and this was adversely impacting studies there. &amp;ldquo;The construction work has been undertaken by the DSIIDC (Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd). The school authorities claimed that there has been enormous delay in completion of construction work by this department.

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;And since the school management has no coordination with the DSIIDC, &amp;ldquo;there was complete chaos in the schools&amp;rdquo;. Due to the construction work, it said, the labourers are staying on the school premises in many places and this had been leading to problems such as shortage of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, in its order, the CIC had directed all the Delhi Government schools to make available all records and documents pertaining to admission, attendance, budget allocation and expenditure, details of scholarships and other registers in the school for inspection by citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although most school authorities cooperated with the teams of citizens and members of the anchoring organisation, some schools in East Delhi District, especially those in evening shift, refused inspection and allegedly misbehaved with the inspection team, the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Lack of hygiene, adequate toilets, sweepers found&lt;br /&gt;
Books, scholarships reaching students very late&lt;/em&gt;

An inspection of 60 schools &amp;ndash; most of them located in East Delhi and Chandni Chowk parliamentary constituencies &amp;ndash; by over 15 organisations under the Delhi Right to Education Forum has revealed &amp;ldquo;complete lack of hygiene&amp;rdquo; in most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per Joint Operation for Social Help (JOSH), which had filed a complaint with the Central Information Commission about the state of schools in Delhi, the inspection was undertaken in accordance with an order issued by the CIC. The order allowed for inspection by citizens of all schools under the Delhi Government on the last working day of every month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the inspection undertaken on Friday, the Forum found that there was &amp;ldquo;complete lack of hygiene facilities in the schools&amp;rdquo;. It said &amp;ldquo;most of the schools lacked adequate sweepers&amp;rdquo; and thereby had &amp;ldquo;very few functional toilets&amp;rdquo; despite having over 2,500 children. Most schools had sweepers on contract with limited responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Forum also stated that there was &amp;ldquo;enormous delay in distribution of the text books&amp;rdquo; in these schools. &amp;ldquo;Many schools have received the text books in the month of September, whereas the session had started in April. This clearly indicates how these students are expected to study!&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was the case with the disbursement of various scholarships including those meant for Dalit and minority students. &amp;ldquo;The scholarships due for the academic session of 2009-2010 have just been received by the schools,&amp;rdquo; it noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District schools, from where Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal is the Member of Parliament, the Forum had inspected schools in the Jama Masjid area. &amp;ldquo;None of the schools had any playground and there was no sports equipment. Most of these schools have sports teachers but since there is no playground therefore no sports activity is undertaken.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District, the Forum said the teachers claimed that almost 90 per cent of the schools did not have any playground facilities. Shortage of teachers in the schools was also a &amp;ldquo;consistent problem&amp;rdquo;. Besides, the Fourm said, all schools inspected in East District had ongoing construction work in the schools and this was adversely impacting studies there. &amp;ldquo;The construction work has been undertaken by the DSIIDC (Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd). The school authorities claimed that there has been enormous delay in completion of construction work by this department. Also, the authorities claimed that the construction has been of very poor quality,&amp;rdquo; the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;And since the school management has no coordination with the DSIIDC, &amp;ldquo;there was complete chaos in the schools&amp;rdquo;. Due to the construction work, it said, the labourers are staying on the school premises in many places and this had been leading to problems such as shortage of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, in its order, the CIC had directed all the Delhi Government schools to make available all records and documents pertaining to admission, attendance, budget allocation and expenditure, details of scholarships and other registers in the school for inspection by citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although most school authorities cooperated with the teams of citizens and members of the anchoring organisation, some schools in East Delhi District, especially those in evening shift, refused inspection and allegedly misbehaved with the inspection team, the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Lack of hygiene, adequate toilets, sweepers found&lt;br /&gt;
Books, scholarships reaching students very late&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

It said &amp;ldquo;most of the schools lacked adequate sweepers&amp;rdquo; and thereby had &amp;ldquo;very few functional toilets&amp;rdquo; despite having over 2,500 children. Most schools had sweepers on contract with limited responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Forum also stated that there was &amp;ldquo;enormous delay in distribution of the text books&amp;rdquo; in these schools. &amp;ldquo;Many schools have received the text books in the month of September, whereas the session had started in April. This clearly indicates how these students are expected to study!&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was the case with the disbursement of various scholarships including those meant for Dalit and minority students. &amp;ldquo;The scholarships due for the academic session of 2009-2010 have just been received by the schools,&amp;rdquo; it noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District schools, from where Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal is the Member of Parliament, the Forum had inspected schools in the Jama Masjid area. &amp;ldquo;None of the schools had any playground and there was no sports equipment. Most of these schools have sports teachers but since there is no playground therefore no sports activity is undertaken.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Central District, the Forum said the teachers claimed that almost 90 per cent of the schools did not have any playground facilities. Shortage of teachers in the schools was also a &amp;ldquo;consistent problem&amp;rdquo;. Besides, the Fourm said, all schools inspected in East District had ongoing construction work in the schools and this was adversely impacting studies there. &amp;ldquo;The construction work has been undertaken by the DSIIDC (Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd). The school authorities claimed that there has been enormous delay in completion of construction work by this department. Also, the authorities claimed that the construction has been of very poor quality,&amp;rdquo; the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;And since the school management has no coordination with the DSIIDC, &amp;ldquo;there was complete chaos in the schools&amp;rdquo;. Due to the construction work, it said, the labourers are staying on the school premises in many places and this had been leading to problems such as shortage of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, in its order, the CIC had directed all the Delhi Government schools to make available all records and documents pertaining to admission, attendance, budget allocation and expenditure, details of scholarships and other registers in the school for inspection by citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although most school authorities cooperated with the teams of citizens and members of the anchoring organisation, some schools in East Delhi District, especially those in evening shift, refused inspection and allegedly misbehaved with the inspection team, the Forum claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Lack of hygiene, adequate toilets, sweepers found&lt;br /&gt;
Books, scholarships reaching students very late&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

CIC inspection brings out poor state of Delhi schools Gaurav by Vivek Bhatnagar

An inspection of 60 schools – most of them located in East Delhi and Chandni Chowk parliamentary constituencies – by over 15 organisations under the Delhi Right to Education Forum has revealed “complete lack of hygiene” in most of them. As per Joint Operation for Social Help (JOSH), which had filed a complaint with the Central Information Commission about the state of schools in Delhi, the inspection was undertaken in accordance with an order issued by the CIC. The order allowed for inspection by citizens of all schools under the Delhi Government on the last working day of every month. In the inspection undertaken on Friday, the Forum found that there was “complete lack of hygiene facilities in the schools”. It said “most of the schools lacked adequate sweepers” and thereby had “very few functional toilets” despite having over 2,500 children. Most schools had sweepers on contract with limited responsibilities. The Forum also stated that there was “enormous delay in distribution of the text books” in these schools. “Many schools have received the text books in the month of September, whereas the session had started in April. This clearly indicates how these students are expected to study!” So was the case with the disbursement of various scholarships including those meant for Dalit and minority students. “The scholarships due for the academic session of 2009-2010 have just been received by the schools,” it noted. In the Central District schools, from where Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal is the Member of Parliament, the Forum had inspected schools in the Jama Masjid area. “None of the schools had any playground and there was no sports equipment. Most of these schools have sports teachers but since there is no playground therefore no sports activity is undertaken.” In the Central District, the Forum said the teachers claimed that almost 90 per cent of the schools did not have any playground facilities. Shortage of teachers in the schools was also a “consistent problem”. Besides, the Fourm said, all schools inspected in East District had ongoing construction work in the schools and this was adversely impacting studies there. “The construction work has been undertaken by the DSIIDC (Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd). The school authorities claimed that there has been enormous delay in completion of construction work by this department. Also, the authorities claimed that the construction has been of very poor quality,” the Forum claimed. “And since the school management has no coordination with the DSIIDC, “there was complete chaos in the schools”. Due to the construction work, it said, the labourers are staying on the school premises in many places and this had been leading to problems such as shortage of water. Earlier, in its order, the CIC had directed all the Delhi Government schools to make available all records and documents pertaining to admission, attendance, budget allocation and expenditure, details of scholarships and other registers in the school for inspection by citizens. Although most school authorities cooperated with the teams of citizens and members of the anchoring organisation, some schools in East Delhi District, especially those in evening shift, refused inspection and allegedly misbehaved with the inspection team, the Forum claimed.
