As we speak, India Institute is running a campaign to save one such school in New Delhi. Deepalaya School, Sanjay Colony, which has been educating poor children in the slum for more than 20 years now, is being forced to shut down. The Delhi School Education Act requires that recognized schools run on land owned by the management, but they operate on land belonging to the Delhi Slum Board. Since RTE has criminalized the operation of unrecognised schools, the school has been shut down, and now just operates a tuition center for poor kids as requested by their parents. Students from higher classes have either dropped out, or are forced to study in a government school which is in a pathetic condition.
