DKS's school agrees to admit kids to Class I under RTE

 A CBSE school in the city, run by energy minister D K Shivakumar, has now agreed to give seats in Class I, under the Right to Education Act quota, to underprivileged children.

The school in Rajarajeshwari Nagar was supposed to give seats in two entry points — Class I and LKG.
Shivakumar, who is the chairman of the school, had refused to give admission to students who had been allotted seats in Class I through lottery process, and admitted students only to LKG. Parents, whose children had been allotted seats in the school, had protested in front of the premises earlier this month.

After holding several discussions with the management, the Block Education Officer said that now the school has agreed to give admission to 40 children in Class I.

The school has two units in the same locality and will now admit 28 students in one unit and 12 students in the other.
