Right to Education

Private schools and colleges hold a great deal of power over the students enrolled with them. Admission can be refused without reasons. Fees can be raised outside the approved structure. Transfer certificates and mark sheets can be withheld until a demand is met. A student can be removed without any hearing at all.

Most families have no practical way to contest this. Challenging an institution is expensive, slow and unfamiliar, and the institution knows it. That imbalance is the reason we exist.

You tell us what the institution has done. We establish which rules bind it — the RTE Act, the Delhi School Education Act, or the conditions of its own recognition — and take the matter up with the authority responsible for regulating it. Where that authority does not act, we go to court. Where the practice affects students generally rather than one family, we pursue it as a public interest litigation, so the remedy reaches everyone in the same position.

We charge nothing for this and we accept no donations. A family already being overcharged by an institution cannot reasonably be asked to pay a lawyer to contest it.
