Gurgaon private
schools told to post students’ profiles on education portal
The
education board of Gurgaon has incorporated some new protocols in regard to the
school listings on their official educational site.
The
govt. of Haryana has a successful educational portal that goes by the name of
the Management Information System (MIS). This site consists of all details
related to schools in the state; their administration, database and strength-
all form an important part of this website. All the top schools in Gurgaon are
also a part of this great initiative of the government.
Now,
as a new ruling, the District Education Officer has announced it mandatory for
all the public schools of Gurgaon, and that includes all the top
schools in Gurgaon-even the best school in Gurgaon, to include each of
their students’ profile on the portal. The profile also needs to clarify the
date when a particular student got enrolled in the school. The government has
also asked the schools to link these student profiles with their correct
Aadhaar numbers. The Aadhaar linking has been made compulsory as the students
are not eligible for any other valid identification documents.
This
new ruling is an effort to keep the double admissions in check. The DEO had
earlier noticed some parents getting their children admitted to both the CBSE
and Haryana State board schools in order to avail certain benefits. It will
help the government to put together a database of all the students in Gurgaon.
Commenting
on this new endeavor the DEO Neelam Bhandari mentioned that the schools have
already been asked to contact the administration if they want to hold any
Aadhaar enrolment camps for the students. “We already have collated the data of
1,12,703 students of government schools and the profiles were linked with their
Aadhaar numbers before being put up on the portal. However, the private schools
are yet to send us the profiles of their statements,” the DEO stated.
Almost
all the top schools in Gurgaon are run by private authorities, including the best
school in Gurgaon. These schools have lauded this initiative by the DEO and
also expressed their positive stance regarding this decision. Most of them have
mentioned that they have started furnishing out their students’ data to be
uploaded on the website. Many of their students are already ready with their
Aadhaar cards and started providing all its details to their schools.
Dhriti
Malhotra, principal of Manav Rachna School, also agreed on already having
started the uploading process from their senior-most students. They have also
sent out notices to the parents to let them know of this new development and
have urged them to get their wards’ Aadhaar cards developed.
Speaking
about the same, Rakhi Verma, the principal of the Ryan International School,
said that their school has already uploaded the details of their senior students.
The school also held an Aadhaar enrolment camp recently to aid all the other
students who did not have their Aadhaar cards ready at hand.
