"Other communication projects, like TCS and NFS

which are in pipeline, will soon help in switching
over to the next generation of networks," he said.
Pant said that the rapid development in
technology warrants for more cooperation
between the armed forces and the industry. The
corps organizes seminars in conjunction with CII.

eminent members of the academia and industry.
"Most of these seminars dwell upon futuristic
trends in communication and emerging
challenges of the battlefield," he said.

The motto of the corps is 'Teevra Chaukas' which

means 'fast and vigilant'. In tune, every mess at the
corps has a painting which depicts a signalman
lying in the battlefield in communication.
Information Warriors, the soldiers assigned the
duty of communication, have earned laurels in
other fields as well. Capt Smitha, who was the
youngest member of the Army women expedition
2012 that scaled Mount Everest on May 25, is one
of the soldiers.

The Despatch Rider motorcycle team of the corps

popularly known as the 'Dare Devils' have created
new records. Recently Captain Abhyajit Mehlawat
of the team rode his motorcycle hands-free 16 Km
to break the existing world record of 5.32 km set by
China's Liu Jichun. Known as army's batman, Lt
Col Satyendra Verma has excelled in the field of
sky diving and performed the first base jump.
"They are just following a legacy left behind by
eminent veterans like M P Ganesh, Leslie
Fernandes, S R Pawar, Gulzar Singh and S Jayram,
to name a few.

Govt yet to reimburse fees under RTE to

185 schools
Ashish Gaur / TNN / Feb 14, 2013, 01:14 IST

INDORE: The school education department has

failed to reimburse the fee for admission under
right to education Act (RTE) to 185 schools in the
city. The admissions were made for the session
2012-13.
ADVERTISEMENT

Even as the reimbursements are due the

department has asked the schools to take up 25%
admissions under RTE for the next academic
session.
A school principal told TOI, "We submitted our bills
last year after finishing admission formalities, but
till date there is no news on reimbursements." RTE
in-charge for the district A K Bendwal said fee
reimbursement applications are under process as
there are technical faults in various applications.

ADVERTISEMENT

Bendwal said, "There were various clauses of fee

reimbursement, which many schools have not
followed. Schools have to submit all the
documents online and the delay is on account of
incomplete information being provided to the
department.
Though in February the school education
department should reimburse the fees of
academic 2012-13, it is still sorting out the issues of
year 2011-12. The department has disbursed Rs 1.25
crore as reimbursement to 850 schools in the
districts.
ADVERTISEMENT

Sources said, the department is yet to disburse Rs

23 lakh to 185 schools, which is turning out to be
painful for the schools. Principals of a private
school on anonymity said that this is the problem
with government policies. While implementing
them they will hold us to ransom and get things
done their way. But when it comes to fulfilling
their part of deal, delays are imminent. "The worst
part is that we cannot question them, else we
have to face the music.
ADVERTISEMENT

Fear of reprisal is the reason schools do not want

to talk on record," he added.
However, education department rubbished the
allegation stating that it is fault of schools in
submitting applications. The department cannot
make any change once the application is
forwarded on the web portal. District education
officer, Sanjay Goyal said, "Due to technical faults
the fees are yet to be reimbursed. State education
department will hold workshop in each district
and sort out the problems."
ADVERTISEMENT

There is no delay from out part, he clarified.

Reimbursements due: 185 schools
Amount due : Rs 23 lakh
Fees reimbursed to: 856 schools
Amount reimbursed: Rs 1.21 cr
Number of schools in 2011-12: 1604
Number of schools applied for fee reimbursement:
1011
Reimbursement amount per student : Rs 2607
Number of applications yet to rise under RTE
Indore: The urge of parents to get their children
admitted in the reputed schools of city has
resulted into a lesser applications.
ADVERTISEMENT

With Right To Education (RTE) last date for lottery

is just a day ahead, the school education
department has received nearly 9,450 applications
for more than 16,000 seats to be fulfilled under
RTE this year.
According to school education department
officials, the turn-out is low as most the parents
want their kids to be admitted only in the best
schools of city. They say more number of
applications will pour in once the first lottery
process is over.

"In the second round of admission allotment

further more applications will come and seats will
be allotted. The number is less so far as everyone
wants admission in top-notch schools and
nothing less. After lottery on February 15, more
applications will come." said Sanjay Goyal, district
education officer.
Last year, nearly 7,000 seats remained vacant till
June 2012 despite repeated extension of dates.
There are nearly 2,000 private schools in district
and some of the top most schools are the only
priority of parents.
ADVERTISEMENT

According to department officials another reason

is that in some cases children could not complete
the necessary criterion or were found having
discrepancies in the income and caste certificates,
or not having the certificates at all. The RTE
notification states that every application for
admission of a child belonging to the weaker
sections should be accompanied by an income
certificate of the parent as well as a caste
certificate in the name of the child or its parent.

RTE seats in Indore this year: 16,000

Number of seats filled in 2012: 7,000
Number of private schools: 2,000
