DoE: Aadhaar of guardian must for EWS admission

The Directorate of Education (DoE) in Delhi has made it compulsory for parents to provide their Aadhaar card when applying for their child’s admission to private schools. The move aims to prevent the manipulation of application details and the submission of multiple applications to increase the chances of selection. The DoE states that this requirement will help ensure a fair and transparent admission process and secure the right to free and compulsory education. The information collected from the Aadhaar card will be minimal and personal details will not be stored or shared with any other agency.
