According to the HRD ministry, the new set of Sanskriti schools  across the country being planned by the department of personnel & training (DoPT) will have to give 25% reservation to children of economically weaker sections as per the Right to Education Act.

Earlier, DoPT had sought the opinion of the HRD ministry on the proposed Sanskriti schools. The ministry has urged DoPT to spell out if Sanskriti schools are specified category schools like Navodayas or Kendriya Vidyalayas.

As per the draft proposal — prepared by DoPT — the new Sanskriti schools will give reservation to only 15% of poor children. It will have 55% reservation for children of officers belonging to all India services/central services, 15% for kids of state government employees and 15% for general public. Sources said there is an ambiguity about the nature of the proposed Sanskriti schools: whether they will be under the category of aided or unaided schools.

DoPT proposal says the Central government will provide an one-time financial assistance for capital expenditure that is required for setting up of these schools.

"It is not clear if one-time grant be given under the category of aided schools. Under the RTE Act, aided schools will not charge fee from 25% children from economically-weaker sections and unaided schools will have to give 25% reservation to poor children from neighbourhood," a source said, adding it will be impossible for proposed Sanskriti Schools to escape reservation. The first of Sanskriti school — outside Delhi — is being planned in Shillong.

As per the draft guidelines, the proposal to set them up should come from state government or association of All India Services/Central Civil Services Officers in consultation with Central Government Employees' Coordination Committee justifying the need for these institutions. State should provide free land in lieu of which 15% seats will be reserved for children of its employees.

The guideline also stipulates that fee structure should be such that these schools are able to meet all recurring expenditures.
