Hyderabad: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Delhi, has told the Hyderabad district collector to send a detailed report about the Delhi Public School, Nacharam, which has allegedly been charging very high fees in contravention of government orders.
Another parent of a DPS, Nacharam, says though the government has ordered that not more than Rs 5,000 be charged for admission as per GO Ms No. 91 issued in 1991, “I paid nearly Rs 40,000 for my ward to get admitted. An extra Rs 5,000 was paid as a caution deposit which was the only amount that was refundable.”
The school has denied all these allegations and said it was not even aware of the complaint against it. DPS, Nacharam, principal Sunitha Rao says, “The petitioner is not a parent of a student from our school.”
“Our school was inspected by Prof. Tirupathi Rao’s Committee who were pleased with the way our school was managed. At an affordable rate, we have an extended curriculum with over 15 extra-curricular activities. We offer so many scholarships and our hostel fees are also much less compared to most city schools.”
“The petitioner is not a parent of our school and therefore he cannot claim to know the working of the school,” she said.
