It was hoped in my previous post NO JNVST 2011 that NVS would be able to sort out the complications arising out of Right to Education Act and JNVST 2011 would be conducted in time. But all such hopes seem to be misplaced. JNVST 2011 is hardly a month away and still there is no solution in sight.
As per the news paper reports, it is yet to be decided by HRD ministry,whether a notification is enough or an amendment is required. We can't say how and where the idea of notification originated, but it seems to have derailed the whole process of finding a proper solution. We can't understand why Ministry of HRD is shying away from pushing for an amendment.Ministry of HRD seems to be illogically vary of encouragement such amendment would provide for lobbying from vested interests in secondary education for further amendments and it may open a Pandora box. No body can dispute the special nature of Navodayas and Sainik Schools. The decision must be legislative so that the sanctity of JNVST could never be challenged. The amendment would also resolve the dilemma of state government run welfare school organizations.Hope there would be an amendment for RTE in this budget session paving way for smooth conduct of JNVST.
