Admissions of the disadvantaged or BPL (Below Poverty Line) category children under Right to Education (RTE) Act at various schools across the city was not without debate and dissatisfaction on Tuesday.

At two of the schools, the education department authorities had to intervene for smooth implementation of the draw of lots of the applicants for kindergarten and class one.

At St. Xavier's Senior Secondary Co-ed School, BHEL, parents raised objections over their rejected applications on the basis of overage and neighbourhood norms. The school education department has defined 'neighbourhood' as mentioned in the Act as the adjoining municipal wards where the school is situated.

District Education Officer (DEO) CM Upadhyay reached the school and heard the complaints of the parents. He also assured them that the matter would be probed.

At Bal Bhawan School, Shyamla Hills, Joint Director Public Instruction DS Kushwaha resolved a similar dispute after consulting a Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) zonal official on the matter. He cleared the dispute of which municipal wards would be considered as neighbourhood.

80 applications were received at All Saints' School. But parents complained that only 15 were kept for the lottery. Also two were introduced halfway through the process.

Maharshi Vidya Mandir had 10 seats reserved for the disadvantaged children whereas only seven applications were received.

Similarly at International Public School (IPS), Misrod, 32 applications from the BPL category were received against the reserved 15 seats. But many were rejected as the parents wanted admission of their children in higher classes. Hence many seats remained vacant.
