There is a good news for the children with disabilities who did not secure admissions as Directorate of Education (DoE) is inviting the fresh applications under the category.
The move came after the Delhi High Court ordered the department to reserve 3% of the 25% EWS/DG category seats for the differently-abled under the Rights of Persons with Disability Act, 2016.
The orders were issued after a PIL was filed by the father of a differently-abled child. The plea claimed that the guidelines issued under the RTE Act completely ignored the interests of the children with special needs. The court then asked that why there is no reservation for the differently abled students and was issued on court’s order.
According to the courts orders, those who had applied under the mentally and physically disabled qualities are required to apply again and the neighborhood criteria will not apply to these admissions. The last date to submit the application is August 13.
