Dress for school children except…

Thank you indeed to bring forth the ground situation. I am really amused by this kind of decision making by the top level functionaries of the Govt. They must have decided it after several rounds of meeting in the cool comfort of their AC cabins. I am sure some of the dignitaries in those meetings also traveled some distance in AC cars at the expense of the taxpayers just to take part in such important decision making process. And now before us the cool decision! Commendable I should say.

@ Bithi_dutta: Thank you for explaining the rationale behind such decision. You made life easier for people like me who found it hard to crack. However, the original post by b_roy states his dilemma to explain this to the little children at primary level in the rural/urban govt. aided primary schools as well as to their parents, who might despite being APL sending their wards to school to cross the unsurmountable hurdle of being the first person in their family to be literate.
Does this ‘discrimination’ not make a indelible mark in the heart of these left out APL, Gen and male children to alienate them against other groups of society throughout their later life?
How do you explain to children of age group 5-12 years the concept of equality of every human being irrespective of class ,creed,etc. under this situation as a teacher in a classroom where a certain section is wearing uniform doled out by the govt. and others are not?
What is next? I fear, free uniform for all belonging certain minority community just to boost up the culture of school going habit in the children of that community.
This will be dangerous and open to rampant abuse by the politico.
Friends, Kindly think over the above points and please post reply.

So, I can’t understand why the ERO office insists only on the ration card as the proof of current residence!What about the validity of other documents!
