JAIPUR: A day after TOI published a report, "Orphans in peril as RTE mandates parents' income, caste certificates," the Rajasthan government's social justice and empowerment department has written to the education department to soon clarify the issue of certificates mandated under RTE for orphaned children.

The report had highlighted how orphans were being asked documents like parents' income certificate, caste certificate, age certificate etc. to get admission in private schools. The RTE Act 2010 had made it compulsory to reserve 25% seats for economically weaker sections in private schools.

Aashrya Care Home superintendent Sushila Morthiya had filed a complaint with the education department when schools demanded various documents like income certificate, which an orphan cannot produce. However, despite her repeated efforts, she failed to get an answer about what documents she could produce to get those children in her child-car home admitted to private schools under RTE.

"They (schools) should admit such orphans without seeking any such documents under RTE. However, now the social justice department has written to education department urging them to issue a clarification on income certificate for orphans, the schools can admit such children without demanding any such documents," said an official of social justice department.

He said that the NGOs or social organizations can themselves or through child welfare committees, assure schools that these children are orphans and for that reason, income certificate is not necessary for them.

According to the official, the state government had been keeping orphans under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) for providing various benefits. Such children are also kept under disadvantaged children category under the Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009. The state government has considered such category children suitable to be covered under 25% reserved seats in private schools.

He said that the schools should not demand any age proof or BPL cards from any children as it is not compulsory under RTE. If they are demanding them, it is not right.
