New Delhi, March 22: The HRD Ministry’s decision to do away with the discretionary quota which allowed the minister to nominate 1,200 candidates for admission to Kendriya Vidyalayas and permitted each MP to propose two such candidates has not pleased everyone.
Some MPs, tired of being refused quota-based admissions, even went to the ministry to push cases.
Former Lakshadweep MP P M Sayeed’s son, Hamidullah Sayeed, was one of them. Sayeed junior went to the HRD Ministry in person to push for the admission of his private secretary’s wards in a Delhi KV.
The ministry, however, maintained a united front on the issue, with all officials conveying that the quota system had been dispensed with.
Not one to give up, the young MP insisted upon and met the JS concerned in the ministry to push his case.
