| Address: KV Goalpara, ASSAM |
Dear Sir/Madam/Team,
My Daughter, a single girl child (5 and half years old) was selected No. 1 in Lottery under RTE in KV Goalpara, Assam for admission in Class 1. She's the only girl child and we have been residing in a rented house within 1.7 kilometers of the KV since the past 1 and a half years as I am a government employee and my job was transferred to Goalpara. As you can see, my daughter is clearly eligible for her spot in the Lottery.
During application, there was no separate section to input permanent and present address. Hence only the permanent address was given at the time of application which is not the local address, as it was nowhere clearly mentioned as to whether the address need to be local or permanent.
On the day of the admission, the school authorities denied the admission of my daughter with the reason that the addresses do not match and the address provided at the time of admission needs to be the local address, mind you, there is nowhere mentioned that such is the requirement, not even in the website or the admission guideline handbook.
The only requirements in this regard according to the guidelines are: "proof of residence shall have to be provided by all applicants" and "A self declaration, in writing from the parent about the distance may also be accepted to this effect, subject to verification"
Both of this requirements have been met and we have submitted legal documents(affidavit) accordingly. Even after that, the authorities are not accepting the Legal affidavit issued by the court with regard to the local residence and have denied admission.
We have reached out to the school Principal. He was not at all accommodating or open to listening to our grievance, and instead doubled down on the fact that my daughter won't be allowed admission, Even though he himself failed provide a clear rule/guideline in written stating that it is not allowed to provide the permanent residential address at the time of the admission.
Please help us resolve this issue.
