Hi to all parents,

I am Rakesk & i have approached Pon vidyashram, madipakkam,chennai with authorities for my doughter's admission for UKG class. Initially they conducted test for the child by taking Rs. 200/- towards application fees. Later they asked to pay admission fee as details below.

Admission Fees : Rs. 43,475/-(which includes one year teaching fees,school development charge................... etc
uniform & books Fee : Rs. 3,500.00
school van Fee: Rs. 1,500.00 p/m

I requested them to issue receipt / bill for the above fee paid and the authorities replied that they have

rights to issue a bill only for Rs- 3500/-(even though after paying 43,475/-), that too not now later when

school re-opens + we may give you the bill or not you can meet our office staff once school re-opens &

this is common in all schools and If you question more on these, we'll cancel your child admission and

we'll not refund even a single paise.

The clerk madam (Fee collecting woman) having a small 200 pages note book containg all the fee paid

details. Once a person pay fee, she will note the amount detials in the note book.

Dear govt. authorities/Human rights officials, please have a look into the schools like these and kindly

take necessary action against the blood-sucking school management.

(If any body wants there child to get admit in Pon vidyashram, you can enjoy the same experience as above.)


Regards,
Rakesh

Re: Cancellation of admission for J Shriya, in Standard I, for 2010. (Regn No: 12525)

I had taken an admission for my daughter Jonnalagadda Shriya for Standard I, in January 2010, in your esteemed institution. In lieu of that I have already paid the entire fees of Rs. 43,410/-, on 12-Jan-2010, vide HSBC cheque no. 002258 .

At the time of admission, I had just moved to Chennai on a transfer from Visakhapatnam, and the plan was to relocate my family to Chennai. However, over the past few months due to some unforeseen developments, I was not in a position to bring my family and daughter to Chennai. Hence I requested them to cancel the admission and refund the money paid.

The school refused to entertain my request. I complained about this to the Ministry of Education, Dr. Purandeshwari's office. An IAS officer Mr. Kamal Vardhan called me up after receiving the complaint and informed me that he had spoken to the school authorities and the issue would be resolved. After that I called the school authorities multiple times, and despite that they have not refunded my money.

THis is a blatant violation of the consumer laws of the country, by a School that is rated as one of the best in the country. They seem to have no regard to Ministry of Education even.

WOuld request some good soul to take up this case and deliver justice to me. From April 2010, I am literally running from pillar to post to get some justice on this case.
